Thanked: 315Info on Weed & Co? Pics
Wondering of anyone here knows about their razors. From what I can tell they have distributed razors by Henckels, but I don't know if that is the only razors they sold.
So far the best info I have is a Henckels IROQUOIS here on SRP and the advertisement below. I have one on the way that has the company name on the tang and Red Jacket on the blade.
Thanks!

Seriously, Jp5. I had not heard of them.
Seems you are our resident expert!

to the OP, The blade is very similar to those sold by Case, Torrey, and a couple others. For shaving, it is one of my favorite shavers and holds an edge for a long time. The grooves/ fullers at the top make for a very light and quick blade
and also an ease of honing. Shaves much like a wedge in a light weight package. Good buy at any fair price!
Enjoy!

Thanked: 315Thanks for the insight. I know they sold a shoulderless Henckels, but it looked different and had their mark on one side of the tang.
$18 seemed like a good price to me. I expected someone to snipe it but there were no more bids. I'm still surprised what some razors are selling for now compare to a few years ago when I first started collecting. (I know I keep mentioning that in threads!) It will be nice getting a razor that doesn't need a lot of pitting removed!
I've wanted a shoulderless razor to add to my collection because I liked the design and they're different than what I have so far. I'll see how sharp it is in a few days. If it needs rehoning it may not get used for a while though.
