Thread: # 14

Hi all,

The idea in this topic is to show pictures of all the manufacturers that processed #14 blanks and sold them under various names and branding.

Reason for starting this topic is that many straight razor enthousiasts love these razors for their looks and their properties.

As a result there are many and sometimes contradicting stories regarding these # 14 razors.

Next to your pictures, history / facts and other informations are very welcome in this topic.




As far as I know there are many manufacturers that processed the # 14 blanks and many brands that sold them:

- J.A. Henckels,

- Palmera Irun,

- Guillermo Hoppe Argentinien (vorher Gustav Hoppe Solingen),

- Jose Monsterrat Pou / Filarmonica,

- etc, etc.

Informations and improvements to this brief list are very welcome.




Allegedly, all # 14 blanks came from the Henckenrath forgery in Germany.

Informations and improvements also here very welcome.




This topic would allow us to create an overview and compare all the different # 14 straight razors in one topic.

To kick off this topic, below the pictures of the two # 14 straight razors from different manufacturers / brands I now own.

Hope that many of you will contribute with pictures and informations about the # 14's you own so that we'll create a good overview.

Kindest regards, Jazor.
