Any good pictures of the kanji?

LA Razors could also be one of their gangs. :rofl2:

Never seen an LA razor before.

That gentle taper and notch look classy. :)

Looks like a unicorn to me. Brass tang AND wood scales. Beautiful razor. I always like seeing the contrast of brass on steel razors. Would love to find ANY brass frameback.

Yep. I don't think I've done the hot needle test but I'm fairly certain they are.

Right now this probably my most rare razor.

A Marsh Bros Ponds Works. Interesting blade with ivory scales.

That Marsh is an interesting razor for sure. Thanks for adding the link! Great that you kept it original with those big collars and wood scales.
Zak shared some interesting information in that...

Hey ScienceGuy!
If it passed the hot needle test (which he said it did) that is pretty conclusive. No surprise at how strong it is or how intricate in can be. Part of why I love ivory. I am...

Someone may correct me, but I would think the frame was made from something other than ivory. Making frames from ivory would have been extremely difficult and time consuming.

Is your other...

Caccia, I've never seen anything like that frameback before. And you found a second one!!!

Jerry, that is a beautiful old stubtail.

+1 for horn.
I bought a razor with scales that looked like wood to me at first. Turned out they were just dried out and faded horn. Some fill work and neats foot oil made them look MUCH better. If...

Would love to have this old set. Came across this while looking for something else.

Great seeing these metal and stone scale razors. I've seen MOP on SRP, but I don't remember the last time I saw abalone. Those metal scales are definitely made to last!

You would be surprised how often that happens.

How I feel whenever I see a new HarryWally brush!

Science guy!!!!:dropjaw:
I've been wondering if there was anyone out there with stamps/dies from when they etched/stamped the blades or put the maker on the tang. That was an amazing find!...

Here is one I think is really nice looking. Wilkinson Half? Hollow in what I believe is ivory. Blade is just over 3/4 with a lot of hone wear so it was probably at least 13/16 to start with.
I...

Like your new Avatar Void. :nj

Here is a blade restored by Outback. Pic by Outback also. Probably more obscure than rare...John Cecil Cast Steel.

Got to love it when someone has a detailed back story for a razor. Very nice.

I believe you are correct! That is the closest thing to mine I've seen so far. Thanks for posting yours.


Man, a Lewis is at the top of my wish list. I've never owned (or held) a custom, but I...

I've got a couple obscure razors. This is probably the rarest one made by a popular razor company. A Boker "Trophy" with notched point and scalloped spine.

Daughter kept reaching for it,...

Glen, I've got a smaller American razor with the same type scales in red-orange. Tang is marked something like Van "Deren?" Hardware.
Interesting. I guess big American hollows are a rarity. Can't ...

Kind of a difficult question. I've got a couple I haven't been able to find out much about, but they aren't really unique. I've got a Boker I haven't been able to find another of. I'll try to post a...
