Thread: Hamburg Concave and a H.Bojer Kings Cutter

Found these for a deal in a B.C. antique store yesterday.

I bought the same Hamburg razor on eBay last year. What do you think if it? I just got mine back from honing by Maggards. I'm new to straight razors.

I'm a bit curious about the "Hamburg" name. Is it an actual brand name, or is it a type of grind?

Hamburg is a place. I went there for a gig that had been cancelled . A long way to go for nothing .

Well sure, as any Beatles fan knows. But it does not say Made in Hamburg. It just says Hamburg Concave on the blade.

The Hamburg ring . I'm guessing was an industrial area where they ground razors.

There is or was a **** ring in the UK , I forget now..

Hamburg on a blade means that is where is was made or where the grinding was done.

I believe it is both a name of the razor and a city.
