Thread: clauss raror need help?!

my gf bought this razor at an "antique" store the blace has a small chip and is in generally very poor shape. overall a very attractive package tho i have never seen a handle like this at least not on an antique and the blade in general seems to be of a much lesser quality in comparison with othe rrazors i owned that were recently stolen i believe the folks at the shop may have taken advantage of her good nature and lack of knowledge on the topic please help! posibility of repair? age? scale material? all info will help thanks! sorry for the glare best pics i could get

These are great shavers. Get it honed up and enjoy using it.

Have fun.

what about the chip on the blade and the finish wich seems to be lifting? can you tell me anythingmore specific? not to be a pain in the but however I am looking for more specific info please

Really can't tell much from the pics. It really depends on how much steel needs to be removed to repair the chips.

two chips about 2mm maybe three on the big one pretty bad i think... any idea about age? or handle material?

Like Lynn said better pics would be good, or better yet send it out to get it all honed out and do it right without more damage. I have had them worse than what I see and have made great shavers out of them. If they are too bad then anyone on this site will tell you so before doing anything else.

Clauss razors are very good razors and personally I like the looks of yours with the covered tang and matching scales.
