Thread: Manufacturer: Clauss

Is this company any good? What country are these from? Thanks.

Check the razor group, out of the clauss-et for more info.

Clauss are supposed to be good and very collectable. I have a couple that bear the inscription: "FREMONT.C.U.S.A."
The legend on the box reads: "Clauss Shear Works. Fremont. Ohio. USA."
I've not actually tried using them yet, tho'.

These razors generally are very nice shavers. They made a 6/8 model with USMC on the shank. Some in good condition make their way to ebay now and again. Check this out for some history of manufacturers. I believe Clauss is in here http://www.uniclectica.com/misc/manuf.html

We have this and a lot of great information in our links and Help Files & Information sections.

I have had 2 of these razors so far, one is in my rotation, the other one, the USMC 6/8, is in the hands of a veteran Marine, and srp member cat28 (I figured he deserved it more than anyone)
We both enjoy them, they are usually very straight forward shavers....

Just picked up one of these at an antique shop in Ontario (Canada) it's a certified chopper measuring in at over 15/16ths at the toe and over 7/8 at the heel. All it says on the tang is "Clauss Fremont O". Will upload pics when I return home from Christmas holidays

Brooksie, thats the biggest Clauss I have heard of! I have a few 5/8 size myself, and I think they are terrific shaves when done up right. What sort of grind on that beastie?

She's a hollow ground but feels much stiffer than some of my full hollows like my DD Pearledge. I'll dare to guess it's a 1/2 hollow based on comparing it to the wiki here. Pics will have to wait until next week, sorry bout that! I can't wait to get it shave ready!
