I decided to clean out all the blades I'm not using, and scale and sell the ones that I haven't used.
All razors have been removed from scales, given a run on the buffers to clean off any corrosion, and rescaled with the tangs waxed. Front pins might not match rear.
All Razors have been honed for sale, stropped, and will give a wonderful shave.
Pretty much all have minor pits/flea bites. Being most are hollow razors, there's not much that can be done about that. I've taken an excessive amt of pics to try to give an accurate idea of condition.
I've marked the blade size and anything notable on both the cards in the pictures, and the description. I think all are 5/8 except for the Rattler razor.
I usually just mark down the bad stuff b/c I really don't want to have to expound on the virtues of the blade. I guess I'd be a lousy salesman. There shouldn't be any problems with a razor that I dont have listed.
Some razors have had their tangs cold blued for appearance and a minor amt of protection. Some have had an epoxy paint applied to the tang for the same reason, though the paint is a much better protectant. The the tang area under the scales is the most prone to catching water and rusting. The paint was a bit of an experiment, it seems to work well, but it has flaked off if abraded by the tip of the scales on a couple razors.
Feel free to make offers, but the first firm "I'll take it" gets it
All razors come with a small amount of Chrome oxide.
Numbers start top left and go right, like you're reading a book. The razors are in two groups, the first starting with the Lee's razor, the second starting with the Swartz silver steel.

1 Lees- closes to one side, scales are uneven has be be closed carefully. Its pretty ugly, but it works. 37
2 Gold dollar-unavailable right now
3 Top flight- This blade was repaired, area near heel was damaged. I ground it down so the blade cants inward. Works great. 45
4 Worchester- blatant replacement scales, blade has a couple bad pits up toward the spine. 40
5 Peters 42
6 electric- wedgy blade, blued tang 45
7 Joseph allen- 47
8 Mappin and sons- painted tang, stiff opening an closing due to paint, favors one side, but not badly 42
9 Diamond. Has painted tang 45
10 Schwartz Silver steel razor. The blade can be barely felt when its closed on the bottom of the scales. I used this for a while, (silver steel is great) I never had any problems with this, didnt cut myself or anything even when I tried, but YMMV. 48
11 Rattler 6/8 blued tang, very hollow. 55
12 Howard- scales were broken at the bottom, they are one piece scales, I repaired with long set epoxy. 45
13 Boker- good as gold. Was a looker in its day, has been used. Still nice. 48
Please note that I'm on and off the computer, so it may take me a several hours to get back to you. Thanks.
