    Default Thomas MFG Co Dayton OH - Tungsten

    I bought this razor just because I grew up in the Dayton, OH area. This is after just using some metal polish on it.

    Nice buy Ben! Why do I only find rusted chipped up junk?

    Because you are not goofing off all day when you are at work.

    That is a very nice razor! Looks like a fairly stiff grind, which is my own preference. Could easily be more than a century old too, since the company was only in business from 1907-1911. Wish more of my antique acquisitions were as well preserved. Great find.

    5/8 at the heel and goes up to 11/16 at the toe.

    It removed hair from my face in a satisfactory manner.
