Thread: Heirlooms

They ain't much to look at, but I took receipt of my maternal grandfather's razor and his father's razor today.

My great grandfather's razor is in poor shape...lots of hone wear and the edge is far from straight. And despite a fair amount of hone wear, I think some work on my grandfather's razor will put it back into service. I don't have many family heirlooms, but these are keepers for sure.

No Pics!

The razor on the coffin is the razor belonging to my grandfather, and it's a Sterling. The other razor belonged to my great grandfather, and it's a Union Razor Cutlery Co. razor from Union City, GA.

Wow, that's awesome! I come from a long line of sharp object/shaving averse men, so no one had anything like that. My grandfather uses a BIC to this day

Thanks for sharing. Those are great pics!

Shoot, that hone wear isn't bad! The top razor has a bit of a frown, but that can be fixed quite easily!

I say restore them (or have em restored by someone here) and shave with em until you can pass em to your kids or whatever.

+ 1 those are both salvageable!!!!!

I haven't been on in awhile, but I appreciate the posts. I do plan on getting them restored, and while I hadn't planned on getting my great grandfather's razor restored, I think ya'll have convinced me to get it done.
