First post! Found a razor I have never heard of
Hello all, Dave Huffman here from St. Joseph Illinois. I have been into knives for several years & am getting ready to open a sharpening & repair shop.
I picked up a older razor with horn scales. Pretty rusty but I have taken care of most of that.
From what I can read the engraving says R & N Gall Co. Anyone heard of this company? I looked in the 1000 Razors book with no luck & several other places.
This blade is VERY sharp after a touch up on the hone & strop. I know I need to get pictures on here but my wife is teaching me.
Any info. would be a big help!
Dave "Slawman" Huffman

Welcome to SRP Dave, I've not heard of that one either. Someone may be along who has. Straight Razor Place Library:Books/Beginners Guide - Straight Razor Place Library
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Welcome to SRP, Dave! Can't help with your ID problem, but hopefully someone will come along who can. Good luck with your shop!

Welcome to SRP!
I've never heard of R&N Gall before. Rust hasn't by some chance made the word Bengall look that way has it?UKRob and entropy1049 like this.Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead - Charles Bukowski

I'm prepared to put a small amount of money on this being correct without even seeing a picture.

Makes sense I see the R being a B. Thanks All!
This razor looks pretty bad but man is it sharp. New scales & this could be my number one blade!
I had a pretty good flea market weekend, Got the Bengall, A Joseph Allen & sons, aHamilton Hollow Ground & aShumates Tungsten all for around $60.00

Good work, Slawman! Welcome! Now get up there to the beginner's forum and introduce yourself to everyone!
