    Default Looking for info on vintage razor??

    I'm new to straight shaving and just got my first razor! It was a sight unseen razor from whipped dog. The only markings on the blade are on the tang and read "Ed W. B. Holt & Co. Boston". Anyone have any info on this brand of razor or company??

    Goins says c. 1890-1895 First at 56 Belford, Boston Massachusetts, by 1895, they were at 115 Devonshire.

    Perhaps the dates and street names will give you a jumping point for further research.

    Welcome to SRP. Dunno about the brand, how about a pic of the whole razor ? We like razor porn.

    Thanks for the info. I'll see what I can find with that. And I'll try to get a full pic up later if I can remember
