This razor has a few markings and emblems on it, but I have not been able to identify the bloodline, that being said, it is a vintage razor and made from good steel, so it will serve the primary purpose of shaving very well, and we will sell it on the cheaper end of the scale to lure someone into this great way of shaving. 

The razor has a 6/8 blade that is 70 mm long, the spine is 5 mm thick delivering a shaving angle of 15 degrees. The pinning and scales are in good condition, the chunky blade has a full hollow grind and took a nice edge with a bevel that looks pretty good, not perfectly even, but it is nice and fine with the promise of quick and easy maintenance. There are a few marks on the blade where we removed contamination and rust, keep it clean and dry and it will remain in this good condition

The razor is shave ready and delivered a smooth shave with little feedback from the fairly thick blade, the grind is quite stiff and one can expect very little or no flex at all when sharpening on the stones. The razor weighs 54 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.
