NOS Sta-Sharp straight razor
I just picked up this NOS Sta-Sharp razor, cracked ice scales and "fine chromized steel" blade. My initial test shave was yesterday. It has a different sound/feel than any of my other razors and I would have to say that it shaves better than any of my Dovos, Giesen & Forsthoffs, Thiers-Issard, Hen & Rooster, and the American made razor (I won't mention the name because it upsets one of the other members) that I own. It may be a match for the F.W. Engels, but I have not shaved with it enough to make an accurate comparison. Up until now I have purchased new razors thinking that modern metallurgy and production methods should be superior to the vintage razors. What a pleasant suprise to find I was wrong. I'm thinking that I should have started my collection with all vintage and then moved on to new. Sorry for the poor quality picture.Attachment 133563Thanks for the great razor Bob.:beer1:
