Thread: Restored Cattaraugus

Aloha, just received this guy the other day from a restore job. The polish was very conservative so some pitting is pretty evident. I also asked to have new scales made from black paper micarta and the tip reshaped from a round point to a more oblique type.

It's too bad that this razor had such rust on it, since I love the shape. I've not been around much but I've never seen another Cattaraugus like this, or in fact any other razor with a long tang and this kind of shoulderless design that is reminiscent of some of the Swedish Razors (e.g. Tornbloms) that I've seen. One of these in newer condition would be a grail razor for me, I think.

Thanks for looking!

Sleek and lovely lines!

Beautiful razor & a good photo.
Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks...here's another picture that might grab the geometry slightly better.

Seller claimed the razor was c.1920, but I don't know if it's correct at all. Cattaraugus has been around for a while and has a pretty good reputation, but I've never seen the style before, much less information on when it may have been made.

Still, a nice looking razor in my opinion.

Excellent shavers, these are one of my favorite Little Valley NY brands..

Simple clean work too
