Hi everyone, Another newbie here. I'm a motorhead by choice and an admitted tool-o-holic. I've sought help, but at the rates the head shrinks get - it's cheaper to keep buying car parts, tools and various trinkets from yesteryear!

As for straight razors I am clueless. What brings me here is a family heirloom I have had for 30+ years. It's what appears to be a bone handled straight razor from my grand father. It says:

Joseph Rodgers & Son
Cutlers to their Majesties
No 6 Norfolk St.
Sheffield

As a kid I was fascinated in WW2 items. I once read in a WW2 book that the Queen of England gave the US troops a Christmas present which was a shaving kit that included a bone handled straight razor. I started to wonder if my grandfathers razor was one in the same. It went on to say it was made by Rodgers. Now keep in mind I read this also around 30 years ago - so who knows what I am remembering correctly and what I have goofed up on.

So there it is - Can anyone point me in the right direction to verify if this could be THAT razor.


Thanks!!!

Jacin
