Pair of George Sorby Razors. Any info?
I purchased a gentleman's travel set that included these two razors in perfect condition. The hined up nicely and are great shavers.
I have tried to research the maker with no luck. Lots of info on Robert Sorby but none on George.alb1981 likes this.

Celluloid is my guess Tom.

Naa, Collarless I think! Fine bone, at least. Beers? I would win! Originally Posted by Str8Shooter

It looks like it has collar's but the pic is grainy when magnified. I'll take that bet though. celluloid or bakelite!!! Originally Posted by sharptonn

No. They are definitely ivory. Hard to read, but it says on the blade " Warranted Crucible Steel Full Hollow Ground" Originally Posted by Str8Shooter
