I need help. I want to buy a straight razor that was produced in Ohio. The only ones I know of are Clauss and the ones on the bay are all in terrible shape. Any other brands from Ohio that I could look for?

I'll ask a friend or two and see if they know of any others. :shrug:

Fremont Ohio was once the cutlery capital of the world. I have a Croghan, Hollinger and a Ohio cutlery razor. the first 2 are from Fremont and the Ohio cutlery doesn't say what city. i'm sure there are others since there was something like 40 different company's at one time.
Thanks guys. I was born and raised there so I have wanted to get something from there.
tintin I had know idea! That is pretty cool.
Novelty Cutlery Co. from Canton, Ohio made some nice razors.
While its not produced in Ohio it came from ohio. I currently have this one and I'm looking to unload it.

Had one marked as a Cabsco Allen Canton OH Barbers Supply, unfortunately it was passed along. They used to do a lot of forging in Canton ..
Whereabouts in Ohio are you from?
I have this Lecran from Toledo in my collection still.
One of my first straights, still a very good shaver with funky, presumably original scales..

Cheers.
I was born and raised in Hilliard. It's just south of Dublin. That's a good looking razor!
I don't play much at EBay but my friend tells me this:
"Hi Roy, I did find the thread and there definitely more then Clauss, best bet is to do a search on ebay, for “Ohio razor” and use the “Saved Search” feature, and saved the search, using that feature you will get an e-mail daily of razors available, that’s the way to find them on there. But you need to be patient"!
I hope this is of some help in your quest. :shrug: Good Hunting :tu
Thank you for all the help guys!
If you have no luck finding one, pm me your addy.
I'll send you my Lecroix. It should be appreciated where it's lineage takes it. And if you ever come across a razor made in Ontario Canada,, remember me back..
Cheers.
Just to chime in real quick, Clauss razors are amazing. dont give up your search for one.

I may be off but aren't the Green Lizards from Ohio- Cattaraugus Razors?
There is a 7 day set of those floating around. I have an Ohio Farmers and another that the name escapes me right now I think is from Dayton. There out there Bud. Your e_bay search is your best bet for finding one you like. Save it , add alerts and be a little patient. Once you get 1, 15 more will pop up the next day :<0)Quote:

Here's the link to another thread about an Ohio manufactured Razor that I was privileged to be able to help with.

Hang in, Redcane. Lots of fine Clauss razors avaliable. Do the Ebay notification as Roy suggests. As a nice one comes, Pay up! ;)
Give me a PM, I will dig around and see if I have any.
Cattaraugus Cutlery was in Little Valley, NY.Quote:
