Re: Antique straight razor Strop leather strap

The Primble is also bone scales . for future reference , if your straights only have the single word " Sheffeild " they are
without a doubt " Pre 1891 " after that year , 1891 , new tariff rules had to include " country of origin " i.e. England .

Re: My First Straight Razor

Im a collecter , some 100 plus or so , personally , I would not use it , because it belonged to the " Lone Ranger "
I would frame the collection of razor and paperwork as a great conversation piece , and hold its value .
but thats just my opinion.
