Thread: Antique razor with no name

Hi, thank you for reading this, I am from Mexico City and I'm interested on straight razors, so I wanted to buy one, my first one, so I saw in a forum that I wrote articles about guns, a straight razor with no name, so I want to know if someone knows what brand is it?, or if it seems good to shave myself.

It is post #10.

It's really hard to tell anything from those pictures. Personally I would stay away from that razor. If you are looking to get into straights there are a lot of sellers online that i am sure would be happy to ship to Mexico city. If your looking for low cost entry you can check the classifieds here or whippeddog.com. If you have more to spend can try straight razor designs or classic shaving.

What ever you do make sure you get a shave ready razor. You will also need a strop to use with the straight razor. Also a brush and soap or cream make the whole thing nicer and more enjoyable.

what razor?..I just saw conversation and video.

Sorry, that forums is always giving problems:

$400?!?! You're crazy man, stay away from that haha. Cant really tell the manufacturer but if you have $400 to spend, there are much better razors out there.

Is that 400 US dollars? If so, perhaps there's some kind of collector value to it that I'm not aware of, but even so, buy something less expensive that is known to be shave ready.

They are like 36 Dollars with shipping. I am from Mexico City.

Buen dÃa mi amigo,

La maquinilla de afeitar se ve bien, pero por $ 36USD Creo que hay un mejor nombre maquinillas de afeitar que se tenÃa.

Thats the problem, that I never find the one I want at the flea markets or with dealers at mexican Ebay (Mercado Libre), also I went to Böker store in my city and they tried to sell me a straight razor for $200 Dollars :S.

I just wanted to know that if this razor is not chinesse or if it looks good.

Y no se preocupe por su español, mi ingles tampoco es muy bueno.

Thank everybody for
