    Default Found this at a garage sale - A.W. Staniforth Cutler Cardift

    Hi, I recently misplaced my straight razor in a move so I was looking for a temp to get me by. I found this razor randomly and wanted to get some input from the pros out there. It's a bit worn but holds a nice edge. Was wondering if anyone knew about the markings and if I got what i paid for out of it. Any input would be greatly appreciated. It set me back about 20 bucks.

    The box it came with reads Joseph Rodgers & Sons so I think the box is mismatched with the razor.

    Welcome to SRP. Sorry but valuations are not allowed on the open forum. Your razor is not in perfect condition by what appears to be a toe that is narrower than the heal but if it shaves good after a proper honing and you are happy with it than you did good.

    Welcome to SRP. I got lucky and snagged 4 of those in a 4 day set with original box. All honed up to be stellar shavers. Here is a thread I posted on them with photos and what info I was able to pick up on the web about the maker. Get it honed by a pro if you're not skilled at the art yourself for best results. Go to the SRP classifieds and you'll find members who hone for a nominal fee under 'member services'.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
