Here is another vintage model with little (if any) information on it, historically many businesses bought razors from well known makers and had their names stamped onto it to sell as their own (yes, rebranding is certainly not new) One can rest easy in knowing there was really not a bad manufacturer like we have plenty off today, they were all good, and some exceptionally so. I am yet to find a vintage razor that won't sharpen or retain an edge. .
The razor has a half hollow grind, the height is 12 mm/1/2, and the cutting edge is around 62 mm long. It has a square tip, celluloid scales that are firm and fairly straight with a blade that centers nicely. The pinning looks neat and the bevel nice and even. The thin, 3 mm spine of this razor gives it a bevelled angle of 14 degrees.
The razor strops fast and easy on paddles and hanging stops. The shave delivered...(to be tested)
*Vintage razors are priced according to model and availability, time spent cleaning and reconditioning them, and also time spent getting the edge into a shave ready condition (some are preserved as is, or sold as is for the new owner to sharpen) Please enquire if you need additional work done to this razor prior to purchase.
All straight razors will require a stropping on leather after its first use. Pics are unedited (for detail) and provide a true image of the condition of the razor.
The razor weighs only 24 grams, and takes up no more space than a pen, a great little traveller
