Hi guys, I am pretty new to this forum, so please bare with me!
I have come across three razors in my collection that I can't find any info on:shrug:, can any of you help with history, makers,origin etc? (Hope I've managed to upload photo's ok, am a bit of a computer Neanderthal )
Thanks peeps;)
Sorry forgot to add first is 5/16, second is 5/8 and last again 5/16. Also there are no other markings on any of them:p
The two smaller ones may well be ladies shavers.
I have a 2/8 Vita Style #121 which I am told is a French ladies razor.
Thanks rolodave,didn't think of that! Can't find any info on the web on these and SRP data base produced no hits either, so will have to wait and see if anyone else on here may be able to help me on the history of them. Thanks again for you input.
The second one has been modified, but looks like they did a fairly good job. It maybe had a Crack at the heel, and they've removed where the single stabilizer would have been. Probably will still make a good shaver.
On the 'toilet club' razor, those were elaborated on by the late Neil Miller in this thread. Bygone days!

Hey guys... Picked up a frameback yesterday and theres no markings on the front side of the blade. But there is a faint name on the other. My question is is this name. (W. Norvek) its in cursive and not sure if I'm reading it right. Some help would be appreciated.

On the Bornand Bertrand & Fils Ste-Croix, A French razor, the only mention i came across was that the firm won a medal for cutlery in 1901.

Interesting links, thanks sharptonn. Just shows how language evolves over a relatively short period of time.Quote:

Thanks Harrywally, didn't know that. It looks in fairly good shape and I think will clean up well once I'm brave enough to give it a try!
Take care.
Thanks sharptonn, that's information I never had. Very informative snippets of history, I will probably never know the full story of these, which is frustrating, but fascinating at the same time. Thanks for the links.
