    Default Unusual Vintage Straights

    Greetings Everyone,

    I thought it would be interesting to start a thread about unusual vintage straight razors. I know I am fascinated with some of the unorthodox designs that came out back in the day. I myself don't own anything that unusual but if I find something I like on the internets I save a picture of it. So I have a few pictures to contribute.

    Here is a very cool B&S "The New Shape" razor and a very unusual Case Bros razor.

    That Case makes me a bit dizzy just looking at it!

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    Here is a more mellow example, also from the short lived Springville, NY factory. Natural tortoise scales on this one.

    You know what really grinds my gears? That we don't have more unusual razors out there! ... But then I guess they wouldn't be so unusual... Anywho, if I come across one I will post a pic.
