An heirloom from my great-great grandfather
My dad noticed the other day that I've gotten into straight razor shaving. He knocked on my door about 20 minutes ago and told me that he'd inherited my great-great grandfather's razor and now he wants to pass it on to me. It clearly hasn't been used in a very long time. My father thinks it dates back to the early 1800s. It says "C. Klauberg & Bros 173 William S.T.N.Y." on one side and "Damascene made in England" on the other. The scales are a little worn out, but the blade has absolutely no rust. The spots on the blade are clearly dirt in person, and I haven't been able to clean it yet. I hope someone knows something about this. Haha.
