Thread: No. 321 barbers pet?

Ok so I am looking at buying a barber's pet

My main questions are....
are these generally good shavers?
Do they hold an edge well?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.


Here is a picture

don't have one to comment on
but looks in good shape

Sorry. Never seen one, or shaved with one.
Looks like a nice blade.
Where was it made?
I like the scales, are theye wood?, hard for me to tell.
They're almost identical to a set of scales i made.

I have a little 4/8 Barbers Pet that's an excellent shaver. Mine was sold through Simmon's Hardware and made in Germany. Hone it up and enjoy.

I had a Simmons hardware one as well, but mine had a curve in the spine that made it difficult to hone and strop so I got rid of it. Yours looks like it's in good shape, is it an eBay sale?
If so you might want to take a look at the eBay members list on this forum to see if it's a known razor dealer.

@Outback that looks fantastic the scales are half the reason I wanted the razor at first ...

@Ernie no this is from Larry andro at whipped dog

Alright
I have decided to go ahead and buy the razor the price was good and I like the way it looks ... If it shaves as well as everyone says (found a few other old posts about the brand as well) then I will have a great razor very soon and it's shave ready XD so that's a plus

Rock on.
Cant wait to hear how it shaves.
I'll have to keep an eye open for one.[emoji106]

So I can't find it anywhere ... What would you call the shape of these scales??

I don't really know. Never seen them till now. Except the pair I made. That freaked me out when I seen that one. Thought someone stole mine. [emoji53] [emoji26] [emoji23]
Made me look twice.
