    Default Golden Beauty/ no pict yet

    Picked up this razor the other day. It is made by Taylor Bros Cutlery In Hamilton. Canada. Just Wondering if anyone else has one of these, or seen them around? I only bought it cause it was Canadian eh. Just hoping I can restore the blade to make it look prettier. It has GOLDEN BEAUTY on the blade, and am wondering how I polish/clean the blade without damaging the name.
    PS: I have been looking around, and cannot find pictures of this blade. All I can find is a little info about the maker 1885-1922

    You're right.
    Taylor Bros.Cutlery Co. was largest maker of cutlery in Canada in the early 1920s. The founder was Enoch Taylor. He founded the company when came to Canada from Sheffield in 1885. He died in 1906, and his sons - Arthur, Albert and Herbert Taylor - took over the management.
    They began to make razors in 1916.
    So. Your razor was made between 1916 and 1922.
