    Default GRACIE Razor

    Anyone have any knowledge about the age and/or quality of this Gracie #54 10/16 made by Grah & Co. Solingen-Wald.

    I picked it up today in an antique shop upstate PA, cleaned and buffed it with rouge, hope to shave with it in the morning.

    Thanks for any info.............

    Most likely the razor was made by Carl Grah & Co.
    But very difficult to answer direct. There were many Grah's.

    I can't tell which Grah made your razor either, but it is obviously a good quality 3 pin Solingen, and should shave very well, with a good honing.

    I recently worked on a Gracie. I know one thing. I honed it up, took it for a spin and had one of my best shaves ever.
