    Default Phoenix cutlery Syracuse?

    Anyone ever heard of this? I picked up this razor to experiment with. It says "phoenix Diamond" on the blade and Phoenix cutlery, Syracuse NY on the tang. Any reason this wouldn't make a good shaver?

    Also, how do I tell scale material? I think it's celluloid, cause it smells kinda funky, almost like a fan belt thats slipping.

    Thanks!

    I'm not familiar with that particular maker, but there are a few razor companies that operated out of Syracuse. There is some odd looking hone wear across the spine, but I would get it honed and try it. It looks like it could be a fine shaver to me.

    As for the celluloid question, I'm not sure. Have you searched the forums? I'm sure it's been discussed in the past.
