Grandpa's Gear

Wow! That has got to be the crustiest razor I've ever seen. Great job on the cleanup!

That is awesome! I would love to have gramps razor but alas, I had to settle for someone else's grandpas razor picked up at various yard sales and antique shops. You are a lucky guy.

This is by far THE BEST THREAD OF 18.... a razor you can cherish and will cherish for life. Hope Grandma gets better!

Congrats on the heirloom. They are great. I have 2...both are Black Beauties. The long handle was grandpa's and I had it replated in rhodium.

If you don't want to replate it, just keep it dry when not in use.

Nice score.

Thanks steeleshaves I really wish I could say Grandma is doing better but things took a turn for the worse yesterday.

That's awesome you were able to get 2! and really cool that both of your grandpa's used the same model razor

Good job on the clean up! Its awesome that you got such a priceless heirloom you can actually use! Cheers to many shaves!

Wow, you are really fortunate to get that. Also, best wishes with your grandmother.

I have my fathers shaving brush, but nothing else. I really like those little Flair Tips. You can get it coated/re-finished if needed.

Great story with a happy ending. I have a first year "Flare Tip" that an uncle gave me and they are a great razor for sure.

HoosierShave, that is a great story. Thank you for sharing it with us. It is good to hear things worked out well. That was a fantastic cleanup job you did!
