I was browsing an antique store yesterday on my way to the country for the weekend. He had many, many scuttles and shaving mugs at ridiculous prices. There was one for 10 bucks but it had a huge crack. I found a pile of straight razors and DE razors. Maybe 6 of 10 of the straight razors still had their edge intact. I found a GEO W. Korn Straight with no rust, some staining, but more importantly edge intact. I have tried to research the year and market price to no avail. I have so far got most of the staining off using 320 grit sandpaper. I will continue sanding with increasingly lighter grit until i reach 2000. It should give it a nice matte look. I also picked up a 1973 Gillette travel tech DE Razor, which, after a quick wipe turns out to be in immaculate condition.
