Thistle cut and Old English Razor
Picked these 2 up yesterday, Both are 7/8, The Thistle Cut is a 3/4 hollow, the Old English (says Frederick Sheffield) is a wedge

Thistle:
Joed man wait till you shave that one, these are really, really outstanding...
I have to double check but I think they are related to Case somehow, I do know that they take a super sharp edge....
Nice score !!!!

Nice finds!

There is a little miss information in my post. It's a 'Frederica", I think. The stamp is worn at the end of the name but I think it ends with an 'a' and three is no room for Reynolds at the end?? Also it's a 6/8s. Sorry for the size error and the name is still an issue. I think. Gotta check it out better later tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks Glen. I was going to ask about the steel origin. Besides the name the only markings are New York, U.S.A. I was going to hone it up tonight and use it for my big 4th shave tomorrow. I recently read a post asking about American steel over 6/8s. I'll have to look for it and mention this straight in the post. It is a full 7/8s and I can't wait to take it for a spin! Got this one for the price of a Happy Meal and it's in really great condition after cleaning. Originally Posted by gssixgun

09-12-2010, 10:34 AM #10 Old English Razor
I just got one of these. There are no marks on the tang (at first glance, I haven't cleaned it yet. The lettering on the scales looks identical to the one posted here. Does anyone have information on these razors?
I'll post pics when I get a chance, just got it yesterday.Last edited by Joed; 09-12-2010 at 11:19 AM. Reason: Removed solicitation by OP
