Thread: Ern While You Shave!

I picked up an ERN Ator last week and I must say it is the UGLIEST yet COOLEST razor in my little collection. Kind of like an old Studebaker. Were these only made in 1903?

I can't let that pass! My Ator (11/16) is not only my favorite shaver, it is one of the loveliest razors in my collection:



I love the shoulderless heel of the blade, and the hump on the tang over the letters. To me, the whole shape is just super-elegant. And... shiny!

Mine was made a lot later than 1903 I believe - it has 'Thursday' written on the spine, and the method used was spark-etching, which I'm pretty sure wasn't around in 1903.

Elegant! Ha! We have very differen't tastes! I've got a bit more cleaning up to do on my Ator before honing it up. The razor is certainly growing on me... and hopefully she'll shave as well as I've been hearing about. Does anyone know if the serial number may correlate to the date of production? The serial on mine is O.M. 142302. The serial number is also stamped inside the scales and has 245 5/8 molded into the scales as well.

I have to contribute to this thread!


Orange one is sold, and the black scaled one was restored and is now also gone.

Got one with white scales, the same as the orange one above, it rests peacefully in my treasure chest.

Hi all, I've just bought a Ern sir Isaac Newton that needs restoring can you recommend anywhere in the uk (hope this is the right place) also any info on it would be appreciated ? cheers.

That one is part of a seven day set!
