    Question maker named: John Heiffor

    Hi all

    I hope some can help me with any information on these maker, John Heiffor. Was he a good maker?
    Have only seen one razor for sale from him, so it must mean he did not make many or that the owner´s today do not want to sell them. And that must mean that he made some great razor´s

    Thanks for reading

    I have had several Heiffor razors - in fact I'm tidying one up now - and all have been good pieces. Still with an address like 3 Paradise Square Sheffield how could they be anything else?

    Old thread but I've got one today as well.
    Nice piece of steel, almost unused.
    Its my second.
    First one says "Made for the Army" and J. Ritter on the back of the tang.
    The new one says "Patent Model"
    Both made in Paradise Square of course

    Two of them have joined my collection, both excellent and marked with the Paradise Square stamp. They shave very, very well. Nice find! I would like acquire more of them! Great find.

    Here they are.
    The upper one is the new one. Quarter hollow.
    Has a horn handle, too. Hard to make out though.

    Awesome razors, Olivia! Thanks for the photos. I will try to post mine soon. Just about to put some big American steel photos up right now...
