Thread: Vintage razor

Hi all, I'm new to this forum, or any other forum as a matter of fact. My father was a barber back in the 50's and 60's. I was going through some things we had put in storage after he passed away over 40 years ago. I found several straight razors, strops, brushes etc.
I'm trying to get any info on one particular razor: 1XL GEO. WOSTENHOLM&SON. SHEFFIELD ENGLAND. It has the word PERFECTION on the blade with etching. The "handle" I forget the correct word, is ivory. Beautiful razor, I would appreciate any info I can get on this razor. You can email me at
[email protected]. I will look forward to any and all responses. Thanks

Pictures help. and we like them

I'll send a pic as soon as I figure out how to do it. I have a pc iPad and I phone, but I can barely use any of them. Someone please tell me how to post pic

Hi and welcome. Have a look in the razor database or post in the razor thread might get more info. If you are posting click on the photo frame in the tools at the top to upload pics.

Here is a short video I did to help out another member,
I hope it helps

If you are using the Tapatalk app on you iphone or iPad then it's a bit different to upload a pic. Took me a minute to work it out to.
When you are writing a message, press the three dots on the bottom right corner and set the photo sharing setting to "attachment"
Once you've done that it's only a matter of pressing the picture icon and selecting from your camera roll
