Thread: Razor quality judgement please...

Just picked up a razor that reads "SON & BROTHERS THE SULTANA STRAIGHT RAZOR GROUNDED AND MADE IN GERMANY " on the tang. Anyone out there privy on the quality of this razor?

Thanks.

Welcome to SRP Brian !
It looks like it will be a nice razor :<0) Very little hone wear but the edge looks like it will need some micro chips taken out of it. Although it doesn't say Soligen on it I still think other German razors are fine, They had different standards to live up too but still a nice razor all in all.

It's impossible to tell with nothing but a name. The condition is extremely important.
It's not any well known name, though, so you won't know until it's honed.

I found 1 that sold on the bay today. I am guessing it is very similar to that one :<0)

Thanks for the update guys.

Could you post a pic? I'm interested to see your razor. The name sounds intriguing. Thanks

Pics from the original seller:

By the pictures you posted and the one found on ebay, of the same razor it doesnt look to bad, minimal hone wear, but i do see a small chip on the blade, easy fix, for the price paid a good Geman made razor.
