Another Lot Purchase came in the other day. Besides the Hospital and Sweedo Razors, I was focused on one in particular...

Smart pickup! I should have looked more closely at that one.

Thanks Jeff, been researching the info and it's an interesting piece with a British 1911/12 Patent from what I've gathered

Wow Dave, that's some impressive restoration work. The before and after are stark differences. Awesome job!

Monday June 28, 2021
Razor: Vintage 7 O'Clock Single Edge Razor
Blade: Gem (3)
Brush: Paladin 26mm Vesuvius Chief
Soap: Hub City Morning Hike
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: CFG Ghost Town Barber
Fragrance: Scuderia Ferrari Black
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 964

Drama free shave with the 7 O'Clock Single Edge today. Mild with the Gem blade which is 1mm narrower than the original blade making it mild but still effective and a VERY nice shave, just shy of my normally glass smooth goal. VERY happy with having this piece of history in the den. 1911/12 Patent date thought to be used in 1915 so that's my guess for the razor date as far as I can read. Have a great Monday Folks !!

Nice little razor Dave. So that is capable of stropping  the blade?

Apparently the original blades could be stropped on the paddle. I failed to flip it and show the well worn and now useless strop.

Awesome video and post Dave! I am really liking the historical content in your journal. The next question though is, what will be your den’s fourth victim to the 1508.5?

Also what other HCSC soaps do you have?
