Thread: Jacoby & Wester razors?

Thanks guys. I'm going to hold onto it. It will be quite some time before I attempt to shave with it. I picked up a nice JA Henckels today as well that I will be keeping. But neither are going to see action until after I have mastered DE shaving. For now I'm going to buy some rust remover and some polish and bring a shine back to these blades and then put a coat of oil on them and display them next to my DEs.

Thanks again.

Update with pictures. Obviously there is a lot of restoration to do. Please help me to further identify these razors. Thanks guys.

Jacoby & Wester

Just to add to the knowledge, according to the directory of Directors of the City Of New York 1917-1918, Max, Charles and Amalie Wester operated the Wester-Stone Co. and were acting as city directors for those years. They must have been a stop gap company including Amalie for this short period.

I just thought I would throw that into the mix for ya to contemplate!!

Bye!
