Thread: Help dating and pricing razor

JSmith,,,What all of us do in a case like yours is, use Ebay or another venue to get a general idea on what the same razor is selling for. This gives you a starting point on the razors worth.

You have enough information stamped on the razors tangs to get you going. Photos always help also.

We can tell you the history about your razors but we do not valuate them here.

Nevermind apparently, you guys are just here to talk about shaving? Whatever. Beards rule are better anyway. Beard gang for life.

Elementary my dear Smith, do a completed items search on ebay for the brands you're curious about.

Very perceptive of you to realize we are just here to talk about shaving. Maybe that is why the forum is named Straight Razor Place.

Here is a real bearded guy .....

As the saying goes - a picture is worth a thousand words - post some decent quality photos showing both sides of the blade and makers names. This will generate some comments as to their general quality/condition - but as has been pointed out, a valuation is not possible.

There are other options available depending on whether you want to keep some of the razors - there are people on the site who can quote for restoration and, maybe you would consider using them in thye future. If, however, you are just after the inheritance - then put them on Ebay and take what they sell for.

When evaluating razor condition is everything. Hone wear and surface condition can change the value from highly slaughtered after to garbage. Tang stamps alone do not make the value of a razor.

Just a kid fishing for some money for some beer cash and doesn't gave enough beard to shave anyway,, just by his reaction, you can tell he's not much over 17 years old and raised by a TV. And going to a pawn shop with his grandfathers pieces, what a loser Tc

Atta Boy, Tc!!

Oh lord, another hipster beard boy, probably with his arm covered with pre designed sleeve tats of dragons, unicorns and Dolphins...yup, beard boys and their single speed bikes and skinny jeans.

Just put the razor away kid, you may hurt yourself....
