Anyone familiar with this Straight Razor? It has BARBERS CHOICE, Biddle hardware Co., and made in Germany on the tang. I did a search online and didn't come up with much.

Acording to GOINS' the company was located on Commece st, Philadelphia and existed 1837-1920. Abt 1920 it became Supplee-Biddle Hardward co.
They, of course, were wholesale/retail and they did not make any knives or razors.
Thanks! That helps me out a lot. That makes this Straight my Great GrandFathers.
Be careful, I got the bug when I received my grandfather's two straight razors, now I have hundreds. It is addictive.
Yes, I know what you mean. I started out with the DE's I think I have 12 now. The straights I just got into this year and I all ready have 5. Thanks for the information, again!
That's really cool that you know it's an old family blade.
Yes it is. Even cooler is I remember the old fart sitting in the back yard on his lawn chair chewing Redman with tobaco stains on his shirts, and giving me quarters & 50 cent pieces when I visited. Good memories!
