Nev-a-hone razor, anybody have any ideas?
Got this guy on ebay cheap. I liked the smile and the vintage ad copy etch on it.

It feels like a good blade, and actually has just under a millimeter of hone wear, so should be good, despite the rust. There is some nasty rust in a few places though.
Apparently somebody re pinned it at some point and put the thrust bearing washers on the outside for some reason. Easy fix though, just an amusing thing about the razor.
I'm pretty curious as to who might have made the blade for these guys. I've never heard of the nev-a-hone strop company before.
Anyway, crappy cell phone pics...

I had a neva hone a while back. Suprized at how nice it shaved. Even the off brands made some quality stuff back when.

Yeah, well I had a "Sears Self-Hone" and I let that puppy sit in the drawer for a few days alone and it never did hone itself

Deceptive advertising if ya ask my opinion

Maybe I'll just be super stubborn and not hone it anyway. Every time I use it, it'll just pull the hairs out of my face instead.

Give it a strop and see! Looks like a "Nev-A-Pin, too!

Martin, you are the man, for sure!
No Sheffield stamp, but the point does really ring when you pick it with a thumbnail.
I'll be interested to get it restored and honed.Martin103 likes this.When the Dude is recognized in the world, unDudeness will be seen everywhere--- the Dude de Ching

'Had one that I bought to feed my honing appetite. It was an entirely respectable shaver - much better than I would have any right to expect. 'Approaching Genco/Shumate feel.

Perhaps it was made by Genco or Shumate!
