Thread: Looking for Information on Recently Inherited Straight Razor

As far as trusted vendors for products and services, it is a pretty safe bet that the shops that advertise on the site are o the up and up and that the members who offer services here Member Services - Straight Razor Place Classifieds are a safe bet. As far as ShaveSmith goes, I have heard good things. Let us know how it works out.

Ah! Thanks. The first post on there is the one I was specifically looking for. I would have loved to have had it honed by Lynn. The man is turning quickly into a legend.

He's already a legend, and not just in his own mind .......... send it to Lynn. He would be pleased to hone it for you.

Got the razor back a couple of weeks ago. Great vendor for sharpening. 10/10 would trust again. Now having the best shaves of my life.

Glad to hear it all worked out for ya!! GORGEOUS razor btw, I love the spine work!

I have a pair of 6/8 razors that look very much like yours. The spine stippling is very similar. My razors are stamped Freidel Koch Solingen. They shave like no other that I own. One is marked Thursday and the other Tuesday

Awesome! Thanks for the pointer. Will have to research a little more now that I have a starting point. Do you have any pictures you are willing/able to share?

Unfortunately Goin's Encyclopedia of Cutlery (a pretty predominant source of razor maker info) will of no help in your research. It has a listing for L.A. Silberstahl Garantie Solingen but provides zero information for it -- probably because it translates to Silver Steel Guaranteed Solingen without any actual maker name, and is therefore very difficult to trace back to the actual manufacturer...
