The Village Barber
Gentlepeople,
I know you have them... master barbers, head barber, barber's choice, barber's delight... time to drag them out and be proud the local barber is a dying breed!

Here's my 200 year old John Barber
There's at least one other member here who can post pictures of a NOS John Barber. I know because I sold it to him
EDIT: Mine isn't NOS, obviously, but the other one was.

I have a very beautiful "Barber's Special" but unfortunately I am not a dab hand with the digital camera. It is a heavy (perhaps 1/2 hollow) spike with minimal hone-wear except that the spike has been tamed, a bit. The shank has a pattern of XXXX on both sides and the number 65 and the name EATON on one side, and KRUSIUS BROTHERS on the other.

First, my Shumate's.....these were taken fresh out of the box before being cleaned and polished. They really did clean up quite well, I just haven't had a chance to take new pics.

my john barber - unfortunately it was poorly reground when i bought it, but josh evened it out very nicely. the pressed horn scales are quite batered, but are functionally sound and add to the rustic look, so they are staying for now.

Here's my entry to 'The Barber Shop'! As you can probably see, I haven't even totally cleaned it up yet, I have a bad habit of wanting to use 'em as soon as I get 'em. This one gave me one of the best shaves of late. I thought I wouldn't like the size but it actually helped!

drfred,
The tarnish on that barber's notch matches the underlying carpet too well. It took a second glance to see that there wasn't a chunk out of the notch. 
Maybe I just need more sleep... |
