Thread: Connecticut Straight Razors

Anyone seen or have either a Joseph Badger & Sons (New Haven, CT) or William Rogers (Hartford, CT) straight razor.

Thanks!

I haven't seen either of these, but I do have a couple Challenge Cutlery (Bridgeport, CT).

The joseph badger i scoured a few boards for and found nothing

Waterville was a Connecticut brand as well.

The best razors have always been made in Connecticut.

I was born in Hartford and raised in Glastonbury. Still have family in New Britain, Rock Hill, Southington, etc. I was searching for some of the CT manufacturers.

Having been born in Bridgeport, growing up in Stratford and living in Newtown I'd have to agree, even if I've never seen one.

This is a helpful thread; I have just started in straight shaving, but eventually I would like to track down some blades from my home state.

And by "eventually", of course, I mean "as soon as possible..."

Yay CT! I was born in Bridgeport too Id love a razor from CT...Maybe one of those amazing ones from papabull...
