Thread: Help ID Razor

So my father, who hasn't shown a desire to wet shave, let alone straight shave, seems to have been bitten by some RAD. He ran across a handful of straights at a couple of antique shops and picked them up for me. This one is particularly interesting to me, but I can't find much on it.



Someone did some "interesting" honing/grinding work on it. The stabilizers have been shortened, the spine shows considerable hone wear, but the bevel appears consistent and relatively small. I have done NO cleanup work on it in these pics, in part because I'd really like to polish up the scales and am not sure how to go about it. They look and feel different than any of my others and show some signs of being a natural product, but what?


If you know anything about F.A. CLAUBERG, Tonsorial Gem, or these scales I'd really appreciate the info. I will be playing around with this to see if it's possible to shave with it...but if the blade turns out to be trashed, I'm going to try and save these scales as I really like them and have a couple blades that need new scales anyway.

Thanks for your help!

Peace,
