Doh! :banghead: I looked again and the one which said Solingen was the Fratelli Cella.

The Lorenzo Bianda has no country of origin on it. Perhaps HE is an Italian maker? Still, with the...

Most cool, Steve! A quandary still exists, however one question seems to have been answered!
Your razor has Solingen, and was sold elsewhere (Italy), as was mine (Chicago).
We now know to...

Was painfully obvious, Jamie! ;)

Great info, Jamie! Wherever did you find that? :)

It is a monster. The scales are humongous. Have not even tried to hone it. Should get it out and clean it.
Take newer and better pics. It IS a sight! :rofl2:

Dig those chop'd chorts! :tu Herders are awesome! ;)

I consider it made for some exhibition/display or possibly by an employee on his lunch hour. Rare, anyway! :confused:

You may have seen it as I paid too much for it on the fleabay! :rofl2:

A quick search of Argyle St comes up with other razors by ironmongers stamped from there.
I have seen many razors stamped Scotland and Ireland, but all seem to be Sheffield-made and stamped for...

Indeed, Ed, I would consider, say, a Wade and Butcher to be quite common but the same razor, stamped for a retailer who is quite obscure, would make it more rare to see.

For instance this razor...

Depends entirely upon how many you have seen,,,and noted!

A link to that?

It reminded me of this!; http://straightrazorpalace.com/razors/71634-symbols-etched-heiffor-blades.html

WOW! Something to be said for tang stamps! Those are amazing! :tu

What is that last one?

COOL! Looking at the stabilizer. Think it was reground at some point?
Let's see that stamp. Never saw one!

Rare, to me anyway, is all about condition. Bad condition anything is junk, no matter how seldom seen.

Some seem to collect tang stamps, however.

One of the most common razors ever, say a...
