Thread: The Holy Grail of Straight razors....

I have acquired several rare things as I saw them, not knowing that they existed.

I suppose a grail razor would be something you have seen pictures of and thought you would never find.

One in particular I was fortunate to find...R. Heinisch.

My holy grail is this Geo. Wostenholm etched blade. It may be one of a kind as it is a.commorative razor made probably as a gift for someone high up in the American Party of the 1850s.



Some information here.

I've been looking for a Duble Duck "Napoleon" for 30 years and can't even find a good picture of it let alone the real thing.

Griffith Shaving Goods has one for sale now, but it ain't cheap

I have a dozen razors, a Dovo Astrail, Boker Kng Cutter and a TI.
The rest are not worth anything much $20 - $50 sort of stuff, all well honed I love them all, but my holy grail(s).

At this point in the game I just want nice razors that I can admire with well known names.

Puma, Double Duck, Ern etc, don't have to rare just pretty. I also want a wedge, I will get the Unicorns later.

I only have one holy grail on my list. A very large Wosty, preferably 10/8ths or larger.

But I believe I do have one that some would consider a grail. How bout a early American Rattler, from the Northfield Cutlery Co. of Connecticut.

I still want a set in an ivory case... Something like that



And I still have to finish my 7-pieces Gustave Keller set.
Idealy, because it MUST have existed, I would love to find a MOP Keller razor.
But I will settle for these


The owner told me he would trade them for something equivalent, to whit, a pair of late 19th century French tortoise razors

I have always wanted a complete 7 day set with the days etched on the spine. Scalloped spines would also be nice.
