Thread: Greatings from USCG MR SE NM, Some of my Finds, couple of questions and new here

Jimi,

Welcome to the forum!! Glad you joined, and I know you'll enjoy your time here.

First, we can't, and won't give any valuation on your razors. It's against forum rules. The value rests with what you place on your razor, or whatever (not in your case) paid for it. You can search out eBay under closed auctions and find what has been paid for equivalent razors.

For info on your razors, the search function at the top right of the page is invaluable for finding threads relating to your interest. Here's a search I did for LEES http://straightrazorpalace.com/forum.php. You'll find lots more on your other razors. Based on your descriptions, I'm sure they're all quality made razors and if in good condition will make fine shavers. If they need work, you can find very capable help to get them restored in our classifieds, "member services" Member Services - Straight Razor Place Classifieds.

Congrats on a fine family!! and, Thanks for your service!!

Best Regards,

Howard

ps: If I were you, I would edit your post and remove or disguise i.e. "dot" for "." and "at" for "@" in you email address so you don't get spammed into oblivion. Something like "spam bots" or something on forums, malware, that will grab an email address and make your in box a nightmare. Better yet, just delete the email address and ask members to contact you via (PM) "Private Messaging" here on the forum. Just click on a members user name and follow links to "Private Message" to contact them.

Edit: I took too long typing and Jimmy and eddy beat me to the edit email and valuation thing! Conformations Good though!!

Thanks folks for the edit info, last time I was on a forum Noa kept me busy cleaning up under the eliphants...

please do post a picture of them you have some pretty good guys on here who will be happy to tell you about your razors , and welcome tc

Where would be the best place to post the pictures for the most views and information about them? Here? Probably not. I would like to learn and know the most I can about the history of these particular styles, the place in the place in the price quality range, (high end wealthy or mid/ low end practical common use). I also have a pocket knife straight razor Dad used many times in the field when we were out for a time at a location well off the beaten path. He was a deisel mechanic in the west Texas oil fields and I rode along as his helper since I was about 11 or 12. It may not actually be a pocket razor, but it dosent have any form of common pocket knife blade. It is made by "Mklein $ Son, Chicago Ill." with a 2" blade. Will include pictures of it as well when I do, probably this weekend if I am not tied up on flood repairs all weekend.

As an old knife maker I have been considering trying to make one. Are there any such artisans about on the group?
