Thread: Oldest Razor in Your Shaving Rotation?

Thank you LawsonStone for starting this thread. I've seen many beautiful razors in these pictures, and the owners are very lucky to have aqquired them.

The only marking on the blade is Gaines, as in the picture. That is all I know about it other than it is a great shaver.

Very approximately 1900 - 1914.
The handle isn't native.
Most likely, the handle was made for special order. IMO.

Here are my razors. they shave very well

Think that this the oldy is.
Dumas aine 32. A very big razor whitout a tale butt a great shaver.

Nice old collection! I really like the Birks, tough it 'looks' a little rough for shaving. Real nice bunch!

I was taking a closer look at your fleshing tool there Bill. Its just an observation, but it almost looks as if the top area there is the outline of a finger print. Is that just shave cream from you gripping it or is it etched in the surface? Regardless, very cool indeed! Ken

Oldest razor i have in my collection is dated around 1911, its not made my shaving rotation yet as its in need of a professional hone which im presently arranging

Thats the surface of the stone ken,Guess I look for some roadkill tonight and flesh that sucker out
Need to google up fleshing before I head out tho
