I got a kick out of a razor that I saw on the bay today. The tang was marked TRUMP and it had a nice little inlay that said PERFECT TEMPER.:rofl2:

Not sure why but I can only post pics sideways.
PS I thought this was kinda funny. Seriously though, let's not start any political discussions.
It has the best temper. That, I can tell you.
I have to admit I looked at the title of the thread and that is was in "Razors" and thought
"Great now I gotta go play mod and move threads"
Nice razor either way
Nicely played too :p

And seems to hold a sharp bitey edge for years..
;)
Hehehe ya got me with that thread title as well. I would be angry but lets face it, I would have done the same. Nice looking straight, how does it shave?
Is it wood or a laminate?
Was the shave grabby?
Seems that is an Engels brand? Perfect Temper, I mean! :D
Sounds like it would be grabby.
Sounding grabby and actually grabbing are two different things, so I hear! ;)Quote:

Too bad we can't see the stamps on the other side, but I have one of those it is an F.W. Engles, ' Perfect Temper' which is stamped on the tang as well.

No it sold for a pretty high price. There were only three bidders but it seems twoQuote:

Looks to be celluloid.Quote:

That razor is celluloid.
You have to forgive me. At my age now, my eyes do not perform as well as they did 15...20 years ago.
No forgiveness needed, they do look like wood. I have 2 of them though, a 9/16, and a 6/8. It's the only reason you could know for sure.
Thanks for the reply.
I'll take a dozen.
Imagine a president with his own line of straight razors. Now that'd be cool.
Yep, some kind of plastic anyway (I once bought one of these thinking it to be wood :shrug:)Quote:

I had a Trump razor that proclaimed it would provide,"The Greatest Shave Ever." Mind you, it also proclaimed it was going to build a wall between Mexico and the US and repeal Obamacare:rofl2:
Really,,,:rolleyes:
Sweet razor. I would have bought it too. LOL
