Thread: Are any of these decent brands?

Hello,

I'm a newbie here and already have 1 straight, a very nice Wostenholm Pipe razor that's pretty close to a full wedge.
I'm interested in getting another razor (or 2) that are more hallow ground. I went poking around one of my local antique stores and they have quite a few, although most are in really bad shape.

Of the few that looked to be in decent shape ( just need to be polished and honed) there were 4 that caught my eye, but I don't know much about them. I'd like to find out if any of them have good reputations.

Lightning - That's the only marking on the razor itself, and it was etched on the blade. The original box was with it, but I couldn't make out where it was made. The box was pretty beat up, but the razor was very nice. Not much staining at all and not too much hone wear.

Griffon - Had a 60 and XX stamped on the tang.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. I'm not a collector, just looking for a good razor that shaves well.

Thanks,

the griffons are usually rather good, i'd go for that one.

Karnak is pretty darned good for the price.
