Thread: Razor info wanted

I got two family heirloom straight razors today that I want to find more info on.

Brown one says,
Crescent on one side and
LOEFFLER & SYKES
ROCHESTER N.Y.
M.I.GERMANY
on the other

I believe it is from 1897-1904



The white one says,
MIKWEES GOODLUCK
on the blade
MIKWEE & Bro
53 Washington Street, N.Y.

I am new to this forum and not sure how to post pictures.

In the window you type your message, therein an icon third from the right that looks like a tree in a picture frame. Click that and the rest is relatively simple.

Welcome to SRP. Just going by the names it sounds like those were made in Solingen for a USA hardware, or barber supply. Unless the maker has a distinct logo of his own on the razor or scales (handles) it may be impossible to tell who made it. When you post the photos more will be revealed.

I am not seeing the icon you are referring to.

I am accessing this site from my phone. Perhaps that is the reason I don't see it.

I also tried the app tapatalk.

There is a way to post photos with tapatalk. I can't tell you what it is, but I've done it a time or two in the past. If you look at the thread/post on your page you may see a drop down menu, or an icon that will get it done. Long time since I used it.
