Thanks Dave.. I have met so many characters doing what I do. So many stories, Naturally the old barbers have the best by far! Often they have left a straight or 2! One of my favorites simple has J M O Grant barber of Florence st wynum Manly QLD Australia 1950 simply written on the box.. he retired in 1950.It is a hollow ground Abham Brooksbank Malinda Works Sheffield. Well Honed with ivory or bone handles I am not sure of which, in unrestored condition. I now am the care taker and that makes me proud that these razors are apreciated so many years after...
