    Default J. A. Henckles, age?

    Name: P2212079.jpg Views: 411 Size: 30.4 KBFrom reading the forum I know that there are several on here that have crazy amounts of knowledge about dating straight razors. I believe this one was my Great Grandfathers. I've had it for a very long time and it is my inspiration to start straight shaving. Any clues as to how old it is?
    Thank You

    I am having a hard time attaching the photo. I'm not very experienced with this.

    Shaun, the way I do it is to click on 'basic uploader' within the box that pops up for you to attach photos. That will open a menu to your files. Click browse and when you find the photos you'll have to 'browse' for each one. Click upload when you have all you want ( up to 5) and then 'insert inline' and 'done' when they are ready.

    From the shape of the twins logo it looks like the razor was made between 1898 - 1904.

    That's a great looking razor! Get her honed and shave with it.

    It shaves great. I think it's a better shave than my Dovo Bismark!
