    Post Gemstar's May Custom and a perfect Beginner's Razor

    Guys I have been keeping some lower priced razors up on the website, always priced between $50 -$95... I try and put only what I refer to as DFS (Damn Fine Shavers) up there... They have NO rust inside or out, the scales are near perfect, and they are honed to shave ready...

    Of course there are some Customs up there too...

    But this one I just put up is a near perfect Beginner's razor
    Gem Star Customs - For Sale

    Look at #128

    Make: Trenton Razor Co.
    Name:

    Country: USA, was built before 1906

    Size: 5/8

    Point: Round

    Grind: 1/2 Hollow

    This razor has no visible hone wear, no rust, just bright shiny steel
    I have taken this one completely apart and cleaned the razor in and out...
    This one is a near perfect starter razor the Round Point at least makes you feel safer The 1/2 hollow will give a bit stiffer feel for those first tentative shaving strokes...
    This razor was finished to a buttery smooth feeling edge on the German Thuringen in the pic....

    Post Just up on the Website today

    Tuckmar - Full Custom in Thuya Burl...

    This is a true 11/16 Full Hollow grind Spike point Tuckmar Razor made in Germany of the Finest Silver Steel.... This razor has been completely customized with Thuya Burl scales finished with multiple coats of Super Glue and polished to a liquid glass. The wedge is Recon Amber and it is all pinned with Nickel Silver pins and Bi-metal washers.... The steel is a near perfect satin glow finish, with clear crisp stamps and no visible hone wear.... Tuckmar razors will take a super fine edge and hold it smoothly... I would call the steel on this razor NOS as I don't think it has been honed, and if it has you sure can't tell... There are no blemishes on it either, I will wait for the new owners decision on the honing...
    Original Box in fair shape included
