Thread: Maher & Grosh ID help

Sorry no help hear, but its a really nice lookin grind, for sure.

IIRC I have a couple of razors ground like that. I always thought it was an off day at the plant when they were made. Doesn't seem to make a difference in the shave though.

Yeah, not sure it's really asymmetrical just a result of being hand made. I have some that look off on the toe like that.

Yes, A nice one! Seems they ground the grob tilted. Makes for more of an illusion than anything.
Not uncommon in oldies, FME.

I looked at it quite a bit because I thought it was an illusion, or perhaps I was seeing something that really wasn't apparent to anyone else. It is a bit asymmetric though.....or perhaps I should stare at it until it isn't!

Interesting post and pictures. I am glad it is a good shaver!

Not trying to belittle it but I think it is what I would consider a second grade. Not perfect.

This would be a good example to use for the tape/no tape argument for changing the angle while honing.

Does it shave different with the show side or the other?

I've only shaved with it twice, but either side shaves equally well. Second grade, or not, it is a bit of a curiosity made by a reputable manufacturer back in the day. It has bovine scales as well.

On a completely different note, nice group on the NFAA blue face, all though I would have obscured the couple shots in the 3 ring.
