    Default Straight razor manufacturers and dates of operation??

    We have uniclectica.com which gives us a pretty sizable list of American and British straight razor manufacturers and dates of operation, but outside these two countries the information is somewhat scattered and sparse, at least I'm having trouble finding this stuff! is there a list of German manufactures? How about French or Swedish makers? Etc.
    If any one has any lists along these lines could you help a guy out and list them here or tell us how to find this information for ourselves?

    Thank you!

    See if you can find a copy of Goins' Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings. It's about the best resource I've found.

    I just ordered Standard Guide to Razors but won't receive it until Monday. I'll let you know what I think.

    OK, I just got "Goins Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings", and it is a fantastic reference source!
    I recommend to anyone that is interested in finding a little history on their razors to pick up a copy! I got mine for twenty seven dollars and it is worth every penny!
