    Default Straight Razor Reference/Research Books

    I've been the recipient of a number of outstanding research efforts by you guys over the years and decided I should probably start shouldering a bit of the research myself now. To that end, I can see that there are a few reference books some guys use to conduct research but haven't caught the actual titles of them. So, what are the "go to" books that I should pick up for researching all things straight razor? Looks like the first cold spell (and deep snow) is headed my way so no better time to start putting together my SR research library!

    I wrote up a research primer with a listing of references on the third post. Lots of books and websites / online PDFs. Let me know of there is anything I missed

    PS: Pictures are incoming to make the post more user friendly, just have to do it.

    Hope this helps!
    The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

    I dunno if this helps. Not quite sure what edition it's up to and how accurate the price guide is.

    Thanks Matt - very good compilation! The references and info provided are outstanding.
    Bongo thanks for the book lead - I found it and it's been ordered (a bit expensive but worth it).
