    If you simply are looking to sell it, then you are in the wrong place, as neither sales nor even valuations are allowed in this part of the forum. It's a shame that you want to sell, rather than use, your grandfather's razor.

    I think they were made around 1900 to 1930, but I'm mainly guessing that. Somewhere in the deep recesses of what used to be a brain made me put a date of 1920 with them but cannot recall the reason.

    Do you have any interest in learning/trying to use it?

    Ah, nothing shaves as well as an heirloom piece, and there is only one way to get one. I have my great grandfathers and I often think of him and my forefathers as I shave with it. Glorious.

    Don't know, but that "sharpener" is great. One finds them in France pretty readily, but not so much in America.

    Send it out to be honed and let us know how it shaves! It was your grand-dad's, so you would know the date best here.

    I have a couple, Bismarck's are great shavers. Since yours is an heirloom that also makes it special. I wish I had one of my grandfather's str8 razors but sometime after his death they disappeared. You have something worth hanging on to strictly for sentimental reasons, shaving with it would be a bonus....Enjoy!

    I don't know if it's addressed to me, but a "sharpener" (a fixed tension loom-strop as shown) is given in your first post.
