Reburbed antique straight razors -- Boing Boing Gadgets

By at 10:06 am Wednesday, Mar 18

Over on Boing Boing Gadgets, our Joel's spotted the lethal and lovingly restored straight razors of Max Sprecher (though, for my money, the best-ever razor-refurb that I've seen was this antique blade set in a circuit board handle, brought to one of my signings by a reader called Jack.

Though they'll happily sharpen your straight razor for just $20 (and restore it for an additional fee), Max Sprecher will happily sell you a fully restored antique model for $90 to $160, depending on vintage and materials.
