    Default Crown & Sword razors

    Hi,

    Does anyone have an opinion on the crown & sword razors? Any history on the maker?

    I've had a search here & in the reviews and I'm just trying to find out where they fit?

    Looking at one to join my 5/8 full hollow dovo..

    bob,

    IIRC they were made by Freidr Ern in Wald. Solingen.

    I love my crown & swords. I have two in my rotation and hope to get more.
    I'm a sucker for a stamped tail. Giggity.

    I have had 3 or 4 in the past and just came across one recently. I think I may keep this one since its in the best condition of any I've had.

    Yes, they are fine shavers, got a real smooth shave with mine last evening.

    Oh, BTW, here are pics of one I cleaned up and rescaled for my uncle.

    I bought a Crown & Sword from England on the Bay. It arrived a few nights ago. It's a 7/8 and I am looking forward to shaving with it after I hone it. The handle has a raised crown/sword emblem on it. I will let you know the results.

    I have one C&S that is a very smooth shave. I recently sent it off to Gssixgun to refurbish.
