Thread: # 14

Miha,
Thanks for the pic of the Field 14 with the box. By the look of the box, with the Spanish "Registrada", it seems that the Field brand was another one of those internal Spanish market #14 razors. One other question for you: on the opposite side of the shank, is there any writing that says: "Fabricacion Espanola / Made in Spain / Made In Germany"? If there is no country mentioned on the other side, that would indicate that the razor was made in Spain and only distributed in Spain. If a Spanish manufacturer was exporting this razor, they would have to put "Fabricacion Espanola / Made in Spain" on it.

hey thee...

it actually says "GARANTIDA A REGISTRADA".. the pics of the other side are below

I've researched this in the past and found that 1951 was the year that razor manufacturers began to use origin markings to comply with legal requirements. Thus any razor lacking the "Fabricacion Espanola" or "Made in Spain" was made prior to 1951.

great info, tahnks wrl... i thought this one is from the 60s or so... so this one is pre 1951

@ mina and Heespharm: thanks for sharing.

Nice pictures!

Kindest regards, Jazor

The Last 14 i got, a Carl Rader in about 15/16" of size, it was a bit bigger when i got it but as you can see at the last Pic, it was a saw and i had to work a bit :-)
Its a very nice shaver, similar to a Filarmonica Doble Temple, hard temepered with a rigid blade and a Razor that makes fun.

@ Rockabillyhelge: thanks for sharing. Cool logo! That edge surely took some work!

Kindest regards, Jazor

Thanks Jazor :-)
Yes, it was kind of work and a risky bid on Ebay when i bought it, only saw the saw like Edge but was very much afraid that i was cracked too, but i had luck, no cracks only the nicks.
Sharpening took some time because i had to work in a soft way to prevent cracks, but the Naniwa 800 did its work good :-)

Nice razor! How wide is the blade?

Its a bit less than 15/16" in Size, about 2,3cm.
