I've inherited a few razors and among them I found a E.C. Simmons Keen Kutter which appears to be numbered 1288 and one marked "perfect shave" by little Joe. The problem I'm having is I cannot get either to take a shaving edge. These are not the first razors I've honed before and I've had prior successes. I've had trouble finding information on these two, especially the perfect shave, and was hoping to find someone who could tell me more about them. I'm interested to see if the problem is my honing or if these brands have known problems in taking an edge. Any other information about where they came from, what type of steel they're made out of and who made them would be great too.
