    Default Antique store finds

    I picked these up today for 68 bucks. The Henckel and Morley are good finds the other two are USA made a Claus and the other with hammered tang I can't make out. All have minimal corrosion and are tight in the scales. No cracks in scales.

    Nice finds.I think the hammered tang job is a Robeson Shuredge."The Razor that fits your face" was their slogan.

    Yes, It is named Robeson. Are the USA razors quality items or can I use them to practice honing?

    When I was roaming around one of the places I stopped had a Str8 that was metal and had a wierd blade with a notch out of the heel. It said it was a safety razor and was marked Zepp. Whats the story on those?

    I like your Clauss! They are outstanding shavers. As for Zepp: Goins' says:

    ZEPP g 1920-1930 "Safe Razor Co. New York Germany" is stamped on the back of the tang.

    Good, that means all 4 of the ones I got are keepers. The zepp is
    wierd (for me anyway) all metal of some sort, funny looking scale assembly and the blade although looking like a straight has the 1/2 moon at the heel that is almost 1/2 the width of the blade.
