An Eiseman, it's a little local love from 45 mins. away, missmatched puma box
a prussian Klaas, with box <3 <3 <3
and an Engstrom brass frameback that needs a little extra tlc to clean up the edge, no box...

American Knife Co., Plymouth Hollow, Connecticut- Circa 1849-1875
  • This arrived Friday. The seller said "shave ready" and I had reservations. I gave it a paste strop treatment and it surpassed my expectations!
  • I literally thought these were wood scales at first, but they are synthetic. When it arrived, it was not cleaned up very well and the scales looked like they were wood and very dry. After cleaning with mineral oil, they still looked like wood. It wasn't until I shaved with it that I realized they were not wood - LOL!
    • I also did some clean-up of the blade with Flitz
  • I assume these have to be replacement scales. They do look like they are very old though...
  • Grind is 1/4????
  • The spine does have honing wear on both sides. There is also "polishing" marks on both sides of the heel
Any information anyone has on these razors, or from looking at the pictures, please let me know - Thanks!
