Thread: More RAD, not sure on makes etc.

Went shopping to buy pressies for my other half's birthday on Monday, ended up acquiring a couple or razors... Did get her a few Hairy Bikers cook books though (signed at a booksigning here in York so not all was lost)

Anyways, back to my straights...

Went to an antique store I was told about (last time I went it was shut), got talking to a chap who happened to be opening up - went in to his stall as he said he had a couple of cut-throats (about 7 in total) he had for sale for a tenner each (£10). Most were well worn including a nice Bengal that had been honed to not far off a point and another rather nice razor that was about 4/8 - too small for me and also well honed.

What did stand out was a Solingen travel straight in it's own case - ah, saves me mucking about finding a case for my TI.

The other one that stood out was a nice spike point with a notch and what may be bone? covering the tail. Not sure on the make of this one as all it says on the tang is 'St & Co.'

Snapped them both up as they were in nice condition, just need cleaning and honing I think.

Cleaned the spike point one up with some 1500 wet and dry then a bit of metal polish.

Added a pic of my stone as well, think it's a Charnley Forest but not sure (my dad's, he's had it a very long time)

Any info on the makers etc. would be appreciated. Thanks.

Nice finds! A lilttle bit of polish will bring those into great shape.

I like the scales on the solingen and the faux ivory tang of the St & Co!

I've tried to Google 'St. & Co.' but with no luck at all, same goes with 'Solingen travel razor'

I've seen the travel one pop up before now and again, whether it's the same make I don't know.

I have never seen that travel design before, how clever. Think I'll need to find me one of those.

That Solingen travel case/scale razor is clever....
Might be worth trying ....

The hone looks like a Charnley to me. I don't know about the razors. I have one with the 'travel case' scales too. It is a Solingen razor with Brosem on the tang and Hamburg Ring etched on the blade. Nice pair of razors you have there though.
