    Default FROMM 50 Red Head for $15 bills

    Admittedly I am a constant purveyor but infrequent buyer of antique razors but rummaging through an "old timers" WWII stash I found an old razor that was listed cheap and in remarkable condition. Apart from the typical affects of age I went back to the booth three times looking at this unit.

    $15 bones and about two hours of "Mothers Polish" and here's what she looks like.Name: image.jpg Views: 295 Size: 18.3 KB

    Fromm Red Heads are hard to find in any condition and are a very good quality razor, very nice find! Enjoy!

    I have a NOS Fromm 50 Red Head square point with box (both in near mint condition) from a local antique store. I had to give a little more for it, but still reasonably priced and far less than any new good quality razor would cost. Took an excellent edge pretty quick and shaves great.

    Nice looking blade, but I was kinda hoping to see what a $15 bill looks like
