    Default Anyone know anything about this one?

    I was at an antique store . . . That was the long story part. Ends up I came home with this razor. The markings on one side read:
    SIMMONS HDWR. CO. MFRS & DISTRIBUTERS U.S.A.

    Other side:
    No. 421 Barber's Pet

    I'll try to get the pics uploaded. let me know if you guys know anything about this razor.

    I think Shumate was the maker of the "Barber's Pet" razors. Simmons Hardware, though, had the "Keen Kutter" trademark.

    Simmons was, just as it says on the razor, Distributors also,,,
    Although they were best known for their Keen Kutter series, they also had many other razors with different names... Now whether they actually made any of these is just a guess....
    I have noticed that many of the "Distributors" had a Barbers series of some kind...
