Thread: How do you date a Vintage Straight Razor?

Just started in collecting? Would you care to start in selling? That's a GREAT razor to begin your RAD!!!
Congratulations.

Dilly,

I have the same exact razor. My guess is that it was made in the 1950's. Scales are faux ivory celluloid. I think the furniture is silver. Yours looks to be new-old stock, VERY nice. Mine is in great condition and shaves wonderfully. If you decide to hone and use it, I think you will delighted.

A very nice razor to start your collection!!!

I might be able to shed a little more light on that razors date. my recently deceased aunt went to barber college in 59 I think it was, I would have to ask one of my uncles the exact date, and we found some that she had bought in barber college exactly like that one. we actually found about a dozen of them so either she dropped a lot of razors or the barber shool had a really really good razor salesman.

after a short consultation with my uncles I found out that I was a year off. my aunt actually graduated barber college in 1958, but that does confirm that those razors were available either through the barber school or from barber supply shops in the late 50's or maybe the early 60's since she wouldnt have bought them before '58
