Thread: King Razor Mfg Co Beaver tooth Razor

Does anyone know about King Razor Mfg Co in general, or the Beaver Tooth razor specifically? I purchased a razor on ebay for $7 total (as you can imagine, I didn't care too much about doing proper research at that price). I could find some basic information about King online, but other than their location (First Pittsburg PA, then Indiana, PA. Mine is stamped Indiana) and dates of operation (1904-1919), I couldn't find anything.

Here are pictures of the entire razor, and the mfg stamps.

Welcome to SRP!
I restored some razors from this company. Good razors.
Here one of them:



King Razor MFG.Co. was founded in 1904, by Winfield C.King, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
In 1911, the company was re-organized in Indianna, Pennsylvania.
The company was closed in 1919.
So, your razor was made 1911-1919.

Kings are real nice shavers. I think I have 4 of them in my personal rotation now.

I have one King Mfg. but mine was made in St. Louis, definitely an amazing shaver and I picked it up for only a few bucks. Obviously this is only my opinion, but I like it better than my Friodur and Case razors.

On a side note.. I think the King Mfg. Co that made my razor is completely unrelated to the one in PA. (based on Manah's post)

The pic. would be helpful.
But, most likely, your razor was made by another company, not by King Razor MFG.Co.

After I went back and looked, it's King MFG. CO. not King Razor MFG.

It's an awesome shaver, just haven't had the time to give it a good cleaning yet
