Style & Stroke razor....We have no clue where to place this razor, it is more than likely part a special order of razors placed in the post war era to serve as an offering of some hardware or general dealer to its customers. The razor has a few spots, scratches and marks all over it, but it looks ok and shaves well. The 'karretjie' on the blade is worth R900, so you get all of the rest for R50!
The razor has a 5/8 blade that is 70 mm long, the spine is 5 mm thick delivering a shaving angle of 17 degrees. The blade has a square point and a very nice full hollow grind. Quite simply put, a 'middle of the road' vintage offering that is ready to serve another 100 years as it has lots of meat left to work with, and a nice crispy bevel that will be easy to maintain using one layer of tape on the spine.
The razor is shave ready and weighs 36 grams.
*Vintage razors are priced according to model and availability, time spent cleaning and reconditioning them, and also time spent getting the edge into a shave ready condition (some are preserved as is, or sold as is for the new owner to sharpen) Please enquire if you need additional work done to this razor prior to purchase. All straight razors will require a stropping on a leather strop before every use. Pics are unedited (detail) and provide a true image of the condition of the razor.
