Thread: Stumbled on some treasures (perhaps)

Lovely lovely set! I too would give both arms and legs for family heirloom such as those. Use it well and pass it down for the next generation.

Very nice looking set!! I'd advise having them professionally honed at least at the start. Then you will have something to compare to once you've learned on other razors!!!

While using plastic tape has it's fans and non believers I do use it as it's been pointed out that it saves the razor from hone wear.

Not all razors survive looking so nice! Here's the link to what my great grandfather's razor looked like before and after!!

Enjoy that set and be sure to pass it and the art of shaving with a straight along to the next generation!

Some folks hone razors themselves others send them off to be honed due to lack of equipment or experience or both. Then there are fine members here that will hone just for return postage. Check the classifieds then the member services area.

I realize it's an old thread, but I just bought one of these A. Peter in NOS condition in an original box while going through Barcelona in a market. Razor looks great, I just need to hone it up and try it.

Did anyone hear anything about A.Peter razors?

Beautiful set of razors. your Great Grandfather had a good eye fot good stuff.
Use it whith care my friend.

Just thought I'd follow up as I honed mine up yesterday (my first honing job btw - thanks Lynn for posting videos on that!) and guess what - it shaves like a feather. Incredibly easy on the face and pops hairs off with such an ease.

I used Lynn's circle method of honing on naniwa stones. Used a progression from 1000, 5000, 8000, 12000. Then strop and ready to go.

A. Peter razors are fantastic!
