    Default Paul Steinmetz (Hand Forged)

    I held various razors that day but this one felt perfect in my hand. I couldn't find much information about it online--I'd love to know some history about Paul Steinmetz straights. (Paul Steinmetz Hand Forged Portland Ore.)

    More then likely a German made razor made for his firm. Paul wrote a very interesting article about The cutlery workers in germany.

    Thank you Martin. That was a very interesting read and I'm really glad to be able to attach some history to this razor now.

    Regarding the advertisement... I'd like to order the razor, the strop, and the brush displayed. I need some help though--I can't make out the address to send my mail order to. Is that 92 1/2 St. ? What is the zip code and city? Thanks in advance.
