    Question Straight razor books

    What are the straight razor encyclopedia/reference books/price guides with brand names, production dates, models, pricing info etc.?

    Is this considered the razor bible or are there others?

    I just bought that one, last week. The first book I have found. It doesn't have a lot of dates, but it lists many razor makers and formulas for calculating razor worth. Also mentions Bill Ellis's website.
