Thread: Help identifying quality of razor.

First post here, my dad recently handed down a straight razor to me after asking where I could get one, it was his grandfathers so there's a little bit of sentimental value in it. I was wondering about the quality, the razor in question has printing and etching on it. It says "Hollow Ground Fully Warranted" on one side of the blade and says "Made in Germany" on the shank. I looked around on the Internet and couldn't find anything to the quality of it, so any information would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Welcome aboard.

Photos are almost a must to help with this kind of question. I'm sure someone will know.

Post a picture of it

As others members mentioned, pictures would be helpful.

If it was made in Germany it is probably a good quality razor.

Also, there are members here that offer honing services. Buy a strop, get it honed, and you're good to go.
