Thread: Murdoch's "Kookaburra" Razor I.D Please

No - I don't think so. A lot of prestigious makers did the same thing, usually stamping the clients details on the tang instead of their own, but as so much is given over to the blade detail, that would explain why the tang is blank.

It used to be common practice for 'walkers' or 'travellers' to take samples of razors made by their company to major towns and cities and offer people like barbers or mens toiletry suppliers bulk discounts for having their razors, stamped or left blank as required. Many of the razors you find with London addresses on the tang were supplied by renowned Sheffield companies, leading many to think that the maker was so-and-so when it fact it was a high-class gents shop.
