    Default J Cochrane of Glasgow, in bone

    Here's an interesting little find and fairly quick restore project, as well as some information for a company I knew little about... To be honest, I still know little about the manufacturer of the blade. I initially suspected a Kropp, since they supplied this company - but I feel as if the blade has too much 'attitude' to be a Kropp. No offence to the Kropps, which are excellent shavers, but they do tend to have the same standard look...

    J. COCHRANE

    66 Gordon Street, Glasgow
    ca. 1893 – 1894
    Hairdresser; sold Kropp razors made expressly for J. Cochrane.

    The initial find, without scales, looking lost and far from home...

    Nice find! As far as I can tell from the pics, it came out pretty good.
