Thread: Beau Brummel Razors!!!!

Glen if you need a second opinion I guess I could spare a little time!

Those are nice Glen! Gonna have to keep my eyes open for some....

Here's a couple. The first is a 13/16 Brummel-werk 40. The second is a 5/8 Beau Brummel 35, which is mid-restoration.

There was one like your 5/8 on e-bay last week I was going to get serious on bidding, but I didn't like the toe wear on that blade... yours looks nice and straight.... beautiful razors !!!!!

I picked up the 35 a couple months ago on ebay for pretty cheap. It had a fair amount of rust and light pitting spread evenly over both sides of the blade. Most of it is gone after sanding with 100 grit for 20-30 minutes per side. I'm debating whether to keep going with the 100 or start moving up now. I don't want to take off too much metal. I love the scales on most of the Brummels that I've seen.

I learn something new here every time I log on and go surfing thru threads of interest.

Am I understanding you guys right - Brummel-Werk is related to Double Duck's in some way? Whoa, what a nice "pedigree". What is the family tree? Who came first as far as razors?

And I will assume the father made mine and others, then the son added to the line at a point after his dad left? And Double Duck's were some of those "additions" in later years?

Newbie questions - sorry!

All I can say is; "Thanks "gramps" for using one and allowing me to end up with it!



Oh, and here's my one and only B-W.

Nice! I particularly like the first one, I really dig the shape of the blade..!

Here is a Beau Brummel #44 5/8 Spike Point with faux ivory scales and detailed bottom bolster with the Top Hat Specticled character stating The Popular Trade Mark Beau Brummel. The verso of the bottom bolster is a stylized gold crown. Hammered tang also with bespeckled BB character and verso reads, Beau Brummel Cutlery Co New York. It was found at a Florida antique mall recently by me.

Very nice.

I picked up this Beau Brummel 35 today.
