Default Antique mall theft!!

Here's a few razors I got at a local antique mall. Forty bucks for the pair. I would have paid that for the W&B alone, haw haw haw. For the sake of disclosure, I did polish them a little before I took the pics though.

The Simmons hardware was just a bonus. Hell, until I honed it the Simmons was untouched! The W&B does have some bugbites on the horn scales, but that doesn't bother me, I think it gives it character.

Until I saw these today, I thought I was over my RAD.... whoops.
