    Default Other Items from the great Razor makers

    The Palmera razor to me is one of the finest ever made (JMO) 99% of my Rotation is Palmera.
    A friend and fellow SRP member sent me a great Palmera tool,so I thought I would share it with you.
    This is a very old Palmera watch case opener,great little tool.

    I've got two from Joseph Rodgers:



    The one in ivory is Victorian, the one in vulcanite is from 1910-1930ish. Basically you used them to carefully scrape the ink off a page.

    I assume things like this and pen knives are the reason that booksellers also used to sell razors.

    And speaking of things that great razor manufacturers made which weren't razors...

    The second one I posted, not so much. Unless they're really crappy watches.
