Thread: Southington Cutlery Co. Razor ID Help

Hey Everyone, was hoping you could help give me some more information on the following straight razor. It's marked Southington Cutlery Co. and measures 5/8". I picked it up at a goodwill store and after doing some google searching found little. Also did not seem to find any of these brand razors for sale on ebay including completed listings. All I could find was this information from another listing on the web: STRAZORS.com - all about classic razors - Southington Cutlery Co._

My questions include whether or not it's a good quality razor and if there is any additional information you could provide about the model or company. The spine has an interesting indentation pattern in the metal which I thought was interesting.

Thanks for any info,
Tim.

Welcome to the forum. Your quality question is answered in the Strazors link where it states "The cutlery made by Southington was of the highest quality" . I have found American made straights to be on the whole good quality and provide me a good shave.

Giving price valuations is not allowed on this site.

Some razor manufacturers decorated razor spines in patterns from simple to complex and is referred to as a "worked" spine.

Your razor appears to be in good condition with little spine wear. It should clean up nicely with little effort and once honed provide an excellent shave. Congratulations on a good find, enjoy.

Thanks for the welcome and for the info. Also sorry about that. Original post has been edited.

Welcome to SRP
as Bob mentioned it is of good quality and it looks like a nice razor that will clean well
And Manah has one of the most comprehensive site as you found
Others may have more info to share later if you lucky
Nice score you have

Well there you have it, it is a worthy razor, now all you have to do is get her honed and back to work. Razors never like to out of work.
