Thread: Anybody know anything about this straight razor?

Hello, I'm new to this site and the forums here,


I have just received a straight razor from my father, that was apparently my great grandfather's razor.

After numerous google searches, I was unable to find much information about it.

It is a Carrara No. 878.

There is some information on the 877's and the 879's, but virtually nothing on the 878.

If anyone had some knowledge of this type of razor it would be helpful.

Pictures (hopefully) attatched.
