    Default Maher & Grosh ID help

    I bought this razor because it looked special. It is a Maher & Grosh, with an asymmetrical grind. I've not seen this before. Was this an uncommon thing to do? Aside from the Western Kamisori's, which this is clearly not, I am not familiar with it. The razor had some pitting issues and I was not sure it would come around, but it turns out to be an excellent shaver. It is labeled, 'Our Master Piece' Specially Ground For Private Use. Thanks in advance for the help.Name:  IMG_2375[1].jpg

    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!
