Found in my loft
Howdy,
I've never joined a forum before, so please forgive any mistakes.
Recently whilst clearing out my folks loft I happened upon a couple of boxes of straight razors and thought this would be the best place to find out about them.
Some are made by Fisher No.1, No.62 & No.3 the others are made by Gotta No.120 and Ama No.100.
They all appear to be unused in their boxes and I would guess they are from around the 60's?
Many thanks in advance for any comments or advice.Last edited by Womble72; 03-04-2016 at 08:27 PM.

Hi Womble72 and welcome to SRP. Sounds like quite a catch. Fisher and Gotta are great razors, haven't heard of an AMA. If you intend to learn to shave with them you found the right place. Photos are always appreciated.

Nice score. A great bunch of razors, but you may not want to start with an heirloom razor. Get a nice inexpensive shave ready razor and use it to learn and make mistakes with. There are only so many heirloom razors and only one way to get them, so protect them. Once you have shaving and caring for the razors down pat get them honed and enjoy them. They are very good quality blades.

Sweet find. I'd be tearing that place apart after that find. There's gotta be a strop and hones in there somewhere. Let us know on what else ya turn up.
Glad to have ya hear, and thanks for the pics. [emoji39]Mike

Just because I look stupid don't mean I ain't.
