Thread: anyone know anything about this razor?

Found at a local antique shop half off for 20 bucks as u can see it came with original box and is in good shape. Anyone heard anything about the manufacturer its stamped shapleigh hdw co st louis missouri box says s.10. Any history info would be nice, never heard of them. Was this a good deal? And is this a 3/8 or 4/8? Thanks-john

Once you get below 5/8s and especially 4/8s the popularity of any razor decreases hugely. The name on the neck of the razor is the seller, a well known hardware store at the time. They are very good razors. It's hard to tell the size from the pics.

Any idea on year of production?

Measured the razor its 4/8ths

Shapleigh hardware is known for their Keen Kutter and Diamond Edge razors.
