That's the first time I've seen a Brookes & Crookes. Do you have any idea what year it is?

Well it is at least befor 1892 as all it says on the tang is Brookes and Crookes hand forged ,no mention of sheffield or england anywhere.There is better pics in the razor club Crooks and straights.Someone may have a better idea of the date it was made any guesses welcome.

I think these would the the oldest. WM. Olmsted and Joseph elliot. Both are fantastic shavers. I rate them on a 2 pass shave to BBS

Thank you. She is heavy. The guy described it as concave. Its almost like a Faux frame back. But does not get that thin.

I like the Olmsted. It's the first time I've seen one of those too.
And I love this thread. I just wish I could get my own ancient razor. Does anybody know somewhere that specializes in selling these razors?Last edited by Frankenstein; 08-28-2011 at 12:55 AM.
