Thread: Anyone know anything about MagnetoSteel razors?

Got one off ebay with a hone I purchased. Nice looking scales...blade doesn't look too bad?

Any idea where it's from or it's quality?

Anyone....MagnetoSteel? Any idea the quality? Where it's from? Anything?

I think you might get better response with pictures if you can post some.

I can post a link to the ebay auction. The item number is: 260687175332



Vintage Magnetosteel Straight Razor W/ Honing Stone NR - eBay (item 260687175332 end time Nov-10-10 08:13:19 PST)

Thanks Gentlemen.

When you receive the razor, you might find out at least its country of origin on the back of the tang. Will you be honing this razor yourself? If so, be advised that it has a slight frown in the heel half of the edge and you're going to need something more than that barber hone to fix it.

I figured that this will be a practice blades. I think I will end up getting a 4k/8k norton as well.

Would the barber hone be used about the 4/8k?
