I picked up a str8 at a consignment place. I am relatively new at this so I have never heard of a "Ernst Melchior". This is on the box. The razor has Sheffield on the tang.
Anybody heard of this?

I don't know arout the Ernest but melchior is a well known name in vintage razors. I suspect they were a barber supply outfit and probably did not make the razor.
I'm sure one of our Wiki experts will nail it though.
I have seen only one Melch' and that is the one that was floating around on the bay forever and ever, being passed from person to person as a "straight" but was actually a microtome.
Which, by the way, took a great edge, and gives me just fine shaves! (as long as you treat it like a kimasori) :tameshigiri:
