Thread: SRD Barber Hones\Droescher

There is. Three labels on the same hone:

Thanks for the pics O.

In that Droescher sold hones that were Eschers for people that find that important, you helped answer Jimmy's question.

On the pics I put up you can barely make out a signature on the bottom right hand side. Unfortunately, I can't make it out. Also on the perimeter of the SRD barber hone, there is a red folial patern stylisticaly similar to the Escher label of your pics.

If I get curious enough one day, I will try a razor or two on them to see how I like them.

Also, I wonder if there was a familial connection with American Droescher the German Eschers.

Oh yeah Droescher sold some really good stuff. I personally like their razors better than the ducks, better quality scales too.
At one point I wondered about the similarity in the names, but I don't think any relation is particularly close. They probably descent from the same tribe centuries back, but then if you look far enough everybody comes from Adam & Eve, or their evolutionary equivalent

I just picked up on Saturday a really nice S.R. Droescher 5/8", Germany Razor for $4.00 at a local tractor show . Plastic one piece scales with flowers in the plastic. Scales not real pretty but the blade is to die for. Getting ready to do 10 round trips on my 16K. Shapton then half a dozen laps on the Coti. under running water. The razor has a short monkey tail which makes it look pretty cool The secret is having a real good 10K. edge before going to the Shaptom. It will make all the difference in how the blade turns out, can't wait to do it so here I go! Let you know how it turns out in a bit. I wonder just where these razors were made? Just says Germany & not Soliegen. Who cares? A great razor!!
