Thread: Hello, can I ask for some advice?

They are a bit rusty in places, so is this something I can deal with or would a professional be better off doing it, are they even worth restoring? I just have a feeling they are valuable, other than the sentimental value. I don't know why, maybe I've watched too much Cash in the Attic lol

I will tell you that they are a premier straight razor manufacturer, one of the most famous there is. They are a matched pair, still in their original case it seems. While they are not rare, they are still a very nice boxed pair.

If there is an "England" stamp on the tang of the razor, they were manufactured after 1891, no "England" stamp, they were made before 1891. They are absolutely heirloom razors - I would advise having them restored ie., cleaned up, pins tightened, and honed if they are to be used.
