RARE Vintage Antique BROOKES & CROOKES Straight Razor BONE Scales

Hey Y'all.

Just scored this from the bay and here's what the listing had to say:

"I purchased a collection of vintage antique straight razors and related items from the niece of a barber who practiced his trade in Portland during the 1920s through the 1940s. I will be listing those items over the next few weeks.

Here we have a rather early Brookes & Crookes straight razor made in Sheffield, England. This fine razor is in very fine condition with just a few scattered freckles and some sharpening scuffs. The blade is very sharp. The original bone scales are in excellent condition with no damage. "

I had read a few threads lately about Brookes & Crookes. So this one was basically free on Ebay so I snagged it. I also want to know who was biting on the blade in the last picture. WTF? Maybe I'll ask the seller...lol

Thanks. Have a great weekend.

Re the last pic, my guess is they missed the spine on a few honing strokes hence the scratches on the face.

You've certainly been snaring some nice blades lately, Cheetah. :tu

Nice one. Too bad about the scratches but id have grabbed it too.
