I have my great grandfathers straight razor. it has 5/8 blade, square , and scales are a decrotive green plastic. the tang is stamped RICHARDS & CONOVER - kansas city. i had it honed and it shaves great. but id just like to know a little more about the company and how good of quality my razor is. ive only shaved with it 4 times so needless to say im a beginner but i dont have any stitches yet so thats a plus. look forward to hearing a little more about my razor.
