Thread: The American shaver

My favorite American razor is C. F. Wolfertz from Allentown, PA. Hands down some of the best shavers I've used.

That stinking rat! I'm contacting Case and crying fraud.....I'll start with one of those guys on a yellow paving roller and work my way up. No one makes a fool of the monkey!

Don't forget about Union Cutlery Co, Olean, NY. Their SPIKE razors shave up a storm!

one of my favorite razors is American also ,,Kinfolks blue steel ,, nothing I have takes a better shaving edge,Little Valley New York. now how about the American made razors I have , Robert Williams, Max Sprechter, Brian Brown, and so many others ,, so the American tradition goes on! that being said I like alot from everywhere so I,m multi national , especially that bladesmith in Belgium !!!!! happy 4th of July gentlemen Tc

I thought I'd post this cool pic of my Torrey reflecting our beloved flag.

Happy Independence Day! Give thanks for being an American.

Not having a horse in the race as no production straight razors were ever made in Canada to my knowledge, I enjoy razors from all countries. That said, I find that production America made razors that I have shave with the best of them. They are/have been underestimated and overlooked so far making them bargains. Can't comment on custom razors, I'll leave that to members with deeper pockets than I have.

How is she treating you? The razor cabinet still feels empty without her. Lol the duck just doesn't have as much of a commanding presence.

Old Holley's from Connecticut are surely all American!
