Hi Team,

My names Kyall and i am all the way from the small New Zealand in the South Pacific.

I am new to this site and to the world of Straight Razors.

I have inherited a couple of razors from my father in law who was a barber and had them passed down from his father (also a barber).

I have had a look online but am still abit unsure of what i have, details as below;

1.

Written on blade: Joseph Rodgers & Sons No2 Star & Cross Razor

Written on front of tang: JOSEPH RODGERS & SONS
*+CUTLERS TO HIS MAJESTY
 No6 NORFOLK STREET
SHEFFIELD
Also has ENGLAND written in an arc at rear of text

Written on rear of tang: ROUND IN SHEFFIELD

Dark brown handle, when closed fits in a 4/8" box (not original box).

In need of restoration/polish

2.

Written on front of tang: 132 RED IMP WEDGE
Written on rear of tang: Giesen & Forsthoff
 Solingen Germany
With orignal box that says:

Ludo Shear & Razor WORKS Solingen Germany - RED IMP WEDGE 132

Does anyone know where i could find out the age/history of these items.

Thanks
