Can anyone tell me anything about this razor? I have googled it, but can find nothing. I'll need to get it honed because right now it's only sharp enough to cut paper.
I would have posted pictures, but i don't know how to, lol

Thanks in advance for any information.

Welcome to the most friendly, helpful and informative site on the web!!

You will find members here of all different backgrounds, ages and occupations from all corners of the world and all with a quest for more knowledge about using and maintaining a straight razor!

If you take the time to search, 99.9% of your questions can be found in the Library (WIKI) however feel free to ask us about whatever it is that you are wondering about or having a problem with. It does help if you’ve done some research before hand so it narrows the problem down a bit.

As far as your razor goes, I found this:

OSGOOD, BRAY & CO
44 Bedford St. and 19 Avon St., Boston, MA
ca. 1901 - 1905

I found it here:

Straight Razor Manufacturers and Dates of Operation

I don't know if it is the same manufacturer.

I hope this is of some help!

Again, welcome!
