Thread: Kain and able special is this a good razor?

Dose anyone know anything about this razor age? where its from? any info would help. I bought this for like $50 honed it and shaved with it a few times its 9/16 blade and shaves very well holds a good edge and is a bit smaller than the average straight but a very comfortable razor to shave with.

Looks like a nice find. I don't have any info on it though, just admiring.

I have no info about it, but I have to say I need to find one now to go with my Lord razor. Maybe will be able to start a biblical theme them

Hi there, I love the look of that razor, I think it's the "classic" colour of the scales. I've always thought that said Straight Razor to me.

There are hundreds if not thousands of razors that can’t be found in any records! There were those who left an employer and started their own business, some flourished, some failed!

With that said the blade was made in Solingen Germany and it should be a very nice shaver! Solingen seems to have always held a very high regard to the craftsmanship for its razors so it would be reasonable to presume that the maker would fulfill the expectations from the general razor community!!

Enjoy your razor! That’s what counts!!!

I've seen other Cain and Abel razors, but with an inlay of 2 children.
Don't know anything else though. Sorry.
Maybe you can ask this member if he found any info on his:

There is one with the inlay on the Bay right now. A little worse for wear than yours

Thats a really cool lookin razor i like the vintage razors they just say striaght to me

anyone else have an idea or a guess about this razor?

I recently bought this razor from the old barbers in NOS condition. I also do not know anything about the manufacturer, although below the inscription "Cain and Abel" writes Solingen.
The pictures are a little worse, but I'll put it better the next month when I get home.
