Thread: Is this a good razor?

I got this straight razor:

A 6/8” Army Straight Razor by J. Heiffor. _*_

Manufacturers Info.


John Heiffor

Army razor, &c. manufacturer,
3 Paradise sq Sheffield; house: 11 Belfield street

Saturday’s razor from a 7 day set.

Likely to be for an Officer. Name scratched on
Appears to be Dr Thompson

This cut throat razor has a 6/8” lightly Hollow ground blade.


It has dark horn scales with a lead spacer.

Engraved on the tang are the words

“*J.H.* John Heiffor 3 paradise square Sheffield”

On the reverse is “Made for the Army”


On the spine is "Saturday"

I cannot find any information in the SRP’s good razor list, neither in the bad list.
Does anybody know anything about the quality of this razor?
Is it a good one? Does anybody know approximately the year of manufacture?

Thank you very much in advance gentlemen.
