new to razors
Hello , Im new to straight razor collecting and i found one that I cant find a maker . I was hoping someone could help idenfy it . "SORRY NO PICTURES " but I will describe the best I can .
It has the name of a man in St, Louis . The name is " Gus H. Slater " on it and im not sure if the box its in is the original one or not . Any help would be nice
Thanks

Hello, and welcome to SRP!
Many hardware companies, propreietors, general stores, etc. would have blades manufactured for them with their name emblazoned on the tang. Many are fine shavers, of good Sheffield or Solingen manufacture. Does yours have a country of origin stamp?

Howdy, welcome to SRP. If you check out the razor data base in the SRP Wiki here you may find something on it. I'm not familiar with that name. Pix would definitely be recommended . No maker's name on the other side of the tang ?
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
