Wow! There is some great information there to help date some of the older razors.
I found this part to be funny: "Certain blades are almost invariably worthless, such as ... those made by Frederick Reynolds."
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

I know, I had to laugh, Paging Holli. I guess he was on to something.

I happen to own a "worthless", Frederick Reynolds razor. If it were an investment I would be concerned but since I'm only out for good shaves (which said razor delivers on the regular) I just don't much care about resale value, investment or collector appeal.
The older I get, the better I was

I have a couple and like them but I'm not as knowledgeable about razors as most of the people here. Originally Posted by 1OldGI

That is a shame if you can't view it. Perhaps it's a copyright issue in your country. Can you view google books at all? Originally Posted by macrob

I can't read it either. Says something about copyright laws. Originally Posted by macrob
