Thread: A few razors...

Chaps,

Please find below a few razors I recently acquired. Clicking on the link or the image will lead you to their respective entries in our new Straight Razor Database. Feel free to add your razors, too!

Herder, Friedr Abr Sohn GmbH "78" 5/8 - Straight Razor Place Wiki

Unfortunately, the steel category does not offer Cryptonite. I got this razor off eBay, and it appeared to never have been used. Bevel setting took hours on a 1k Norton. The razor has a smile.

Reynolds, Frederick "The Prince's Own" 5/8 - Straight Razor Place Wiki

Got this one from Lee, and did a horrible job at honing it, resulting in an edge almost 1mm wide. I covered my tracks by doing an equally horrible job at photographing it.

Mehl, Hermann "Special" 7/8 - Straight Razor Place Wiki

Got this one from oldblades. Bit of a shame about the washed off goldwash - on this razor, it would have worked.

Engels, F W "Special" 9/16 - Straight Razor Place Wiki

Also got this one from oldblades. It is currently my favourite razor, despite its size, point, and scales.

Some quality steel there! Very nice additions.
