Thread: Geo Worthington Co. Razor Help

I picked this up on ebay for cheap, was really unaware of the hstory/quality but really liked the look and it's from my home state. Its appears slightly larger than a 4/8 and the shaving edge is only 2 1/2 inches long. It was sent honed to a tee!

Can anyone help me with the history and quality of this razor? I shaved with it and it really is delightful.

Thats a great looking razor, the blade shape, shoulderless and the condition is really good. That said The George Worthington Co of Cleveland,
Ohio was an hardware store. So more then like they imported razors with their name on them. Definately a high quality razor.






It was written, that when George, went to Cleveland, it was a Village of 700 residents.

Great information! Thank you!

Great razor. Someone did a nice job on cleaning it up. Here is a site that may give some info on the manufacturer.
STRAZORS.com - all about classic razors - Home page

That website has a wealth of info on razors, but not Geo Worthington. Like Martin103 said, it was probably made by someone else and stamped with Geo Worthington, who was a hardware store retailer. It may be next to impossible to trace back to who made razors for them.

Yes, they were importers and jobbers of all types of cutlery.

but not Geo Worthington

Here you're a little bit wrong :
True Blue, The Geo.Worthington Co., Cleveland, O.

Here is thread with several pages from George Worthington Co. catalog, 1902-1904:
