Thread: Info on my old razor

I have a w.R,case and Sons straight razor and it says Bradford PA on the blade as well. The tip of the blade has a notch in it almost as half the length of the blades width.

I also have the case it came in the case also says w. R. Case and Sons Bradford PA it's sort of a leathery wrap on a cardboard case also on the reverse edge of the blade light light light stamps it says Made for M. C. Ford I guess that would either increase or decrease the value due to nostalgic purposes. The handle of the razor is a cream yellowish with a bordering that sort of resembles a bead like design and at the top and bottom ends of the handle the beads turn into sort of Flowery leaves and each end has a steel rivet one holding the bottom and one holding in the blade

Welcome to the forum. I'm sure there are many people that will be able to help you with this, but I know they will ask for pictures too. We really like pictured here.

We will not be able to give you a valuation as it is against forum rules but with images you will likely get more information that you bargained for. There are some real Sherlock Holmes types here. There is a wealth of information.

Do you plan to shave with your razor too?

Good luck and I look forward to seeing it.

I couldnt figure out how to post pictures of my razor on the fourm

Looks like it's going to need some work if you want to get it shaving. We call that notch a barber's notch. I don't have a lot of experience in restorations, but there are members here that seem to be able to work miracles.

Good luck with this.

Welcome to the forum, you've got a nice razor. Get 'er cleaned up and honed and you're ready to put it back in service.

Cheers, Steve
