US Army straight razors
I currently own a Geneva Cutlery "Army Navy" SR. It's a great razor, and is getting even better as I improve my honing skills. I did a bit of research, and didn't find much on military SRs in general, and anything Army related specifically. I retired from the Army National Guard after 22 years (just shy actually) of service, both Guards and active duty, so military related items have a personal value for me. I have a DE military set displayed in front of my deployment flag. So I am curious if there is a list of military straight razors. Any links to such a list?

In for more info! I seem to remember at least one member collecting military razors.
I remember finding several in one antique shop, but they weren't cheap.
I bet my Uncle would love a Marine razor!Geezer and lightcs1776 like this.- Joshua

No links here, but I have a Torrey Army straight razor with the Army etched on the blade. I also have an Army officers straight razor. I'll have to locate and take pics perhaps.

Don't know of a list but both John Heifor & Lakeside cutlery did military themed razors or made razors for the military. I think Luke Cadman ie Bengal, also. Bengals weren't marked as such IIRC.

Not the home team, but a collector told me he had a PUMA made for the Nazi SS.

That would be interesting, from a historical perspective. Originally Posted by JP5

Im no collector of Nazi stuff. But a straight razor would be cool.
I have an Imperial that says Army Navy on it, but I think it was just a selling point.
It's just Sharpening, right?
