Thread: The Stub-Tailed Shavers

Apparently, Scott Summervile is a well respected knife maker. Again no expert on knives, his work look pretty good to me.

As has been said before the razor looks well made but it still puzzles me.

I'd still much rather have the real thing over a replica. I really enjoy the shave that those cast steel blades give.

Well, I definitely have to agree with Altus and you on this one, better try to score a vintage one.
But well, they can be quite expensive sometimes, more so if you include a restore work by a qualified professional.

But if it has to be a modern one, Cedric Christ from Ali's Blade has been starting a line called "Antik" which look damn fine and close to that, and have all the qualities of a razor made by a top grade razor maker.

Hey everyone! Not new but been out for awhile. I am perplexed about a razor in my collection that I can't find information on... Holbem & Co WARANTED ( the "o" in Co has a line beneath it)Looked everywhere I knew to no avail, can anyone help?

Here's a beautiful ivory clad Nils Grönstrand. I believe it to be from the very early 19-th century (could be very late 18-th) with slight restorative regrind and jimps added later on. Nils Grönstrand was a blacksmith, grinder and master (knives and razors) in the free town of Eskilstuna. In 1801 he was elected councilor in Eskilstuna. Died in 1827 (or 1828).

I cannot recall seeing many or any Swedish stub tails before.. Very nice.

Thanks! Me neither - that's exactly why I'm so happy with this find

That is a nice razor. I almost bought it or an identical one off the bay sometime ago. I may have been bidding against you if that is where you got it. I have another of his most likely but older and not his name, but a stamp that looks to be his.
