G. O. Fairchild & Co. - ID/Info Help Please
Hello,
I just started straight razor shaving recently and my grandma gave me my great-grandfather’s razor. It’s an HSB, but I have not been able to find out any information about the etching on the blade or the logo on the scale.
The best I can read the etching it says: G. O. Fairchild & Co. in script lettering. I’m guessing there used to be many importers of razors that may have etched the blades with their own name? Is this another example of such a practice? Anyone ever see the logo on the scale before?
Surprisingly a google search did not come up with any help on learning more about this razor, I’m hoping someone here might have some more info about this razor.
1795 is stamped on the other side of the tang. Is this a model number?
