I hear about Goins, but I have no idea where to get it. I've also seen one book on ebay a lot, and I think JoeD and CarrieM have a copy of it - it's like brownish yellow on the cover with some pictures of razors...

The brownish one could possibly be this one?:
Standard Guide to Razors (Standard Guide to Razors Identification and Values) [Illustrated] by Roy Ritchie (Author), Ron Stewart (Author).
I found this on Amazon the other day.Bjoernar
Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

If you can find a copy of "Collecting Straight Razors" by Robert Doyle it is a very good book.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Thanked: 715 which is better?
Is this book as good as the Doyle book?
Amazon.com: Standard Guide to Razors (Standard Guide to Razors Identification and Values) (9781574325508): Roy Ritchie, Ron Stewart: Books
or is the Doyle book five times better? You can find it second hand for 5 times as much (50 bucks).
Thanks

Thanked: 40 Standard Guide to Razors
I now have this book... It is a good book and well worth the price.. It hlps you determine a relative collector value for razor based on age, scale material, art work and overall collectability. Lots of pics and examples to help you figure out the system.
It has a hx of shaving and razors as well as some old time copie of honing and stropping instructions...
It is very hlpful...
I would like another book with more pics and identification of brand and value within brands.
Thank you for your help all... I'll start looking for a "Goins" and a Doyle... unless someone has an extra! 50.00 and more... wow... I should collect books!!
tnx again MaqLast edited by Maq; 02-24-2010 at 08:07 AM.

Couldn't say on the Ritchie book as I've never had a copy. The Doyle book would be worth that to me but I couldn't speak for anyone else. Originally Posted by ganboyi
