    Default Erik Anton Berg razor with J. Bingham blade.

    Just got my hands on this thing. Don't know much about straight razors, but I read a little bit about Erik Anton Berg and J. Bingham. Any thoughts about this razor, and why there is a J. Bingham blade on a Erik Anton Berg razor? Also the Bingham logo does not look like the other ones I've seen.

    Thanks.

    I can't really help you. All my AB's are with his name on them. The coffin says Eskilstuna..,Swedish, and your blade is most likely English. Not a match in my opinion. A very nice box and blade, just not together!
    Cheers for a nice catch!

    Mismatched boxes/coffins and razors are very commonplace. This response will tell you the history of your RAZOR...http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...ml#post1053170

    Yup, looks like someone simply placed a Bingham straight into an E.A. Berg box. Happens all the time.

    Enjoy your Bingham!

    I agree with the ones above a mismatched pair, however What a pair. Both are fabulous. Funny I dig the E.A.Berg coffin case more. Thats a real beauty, and not readily available.

    Thanks a lot for your answers! Very interesting, it belonged to my grandfather so I figured it was pretty old, but not up to 200 years old. It almost seems to be unused. The mismatched box makes a lot of sense, especially since I'm Swedish.

    Nice razor, all the better a family heirloom. Welcome to SRP. If your intention is to learn to shave, I would be tempted to set that aside and purchase a shave ready razor until you feel confident handling them.
