Thread: Old Razor Catalog

that 12 razor case is really cool!

Don't you wish the prices were still good? It's amazing how many of these razors are still readily available.

If I can figure out how to best do it I think it would be neat to frame each page with one or more of the real razors if I can find enough of them. So far I have the Bengall, a Wostenholm, and one of the W&Bs. I think I've seen the Slasher one here a long time ago, but I imagine they would be hard to find

That is neat that you posted that. I honestly can say that I find it surprising that razors are sold "by the dozen". I wonder to whom they were marketing razors "by the dozen". Barbers? Not even a mention of what the razors cost individually. Strange (to me).

Kind of blows some of our theories about 7 day sets being luxury items for the rich and other such theories huh?

So you walk up to the counter and say "I'd like 7 Wostenholms. Here's $8, keep the change." I wonder what honing cost? 20 cents instead of 20 dollars? Lynn wouldn't like that would he.

Just to put it in prospective a good paying job at that time would of been $40.00 a mounth.

These were probably shave ready out of the box wouldn't that be nice?
