U.S made straights

Genco made a nice razor. For a few years it was the most sold razor in the USA. Good steel. I bought mine on the Bay and it came shave ready. The sharpness was very nice. Probably needs a touch of polishing down the road but a great buy at $14.99.

Won the robson shuredge.took a pre 1892 wade & butcher as well

 

Man, I am gonna need you to do my eBay bidding! Good job.

All this talk of American made razors made me dig out my HM Christianson razor. It is stamped HM on one side and was made for the now defunct hardware sellers, Costa and Sons.

Man what a crazy good shaver. How could I have ignored this beauty for so long?

 

Yea, this are very good shavers and you don't have to pay crazy money for them.

 

My latest adition to my us collectionbeen looning for one of these for a while. Kinfolks 11/16 blue steel spesial

 

That seller does have nice razors for reasonable prices

 

yes he has.most of high quality.one of my favorite sellers.very nice to deal with. but this one i paid a little high price for. i have been looking for a kinfolks for a while and decided i had to get this one so put in a big bet in the last seconds.some one else thought the sameending at 65$ i think. was 20$ in til the last few seconds.

 

Me too

 

I got one of these a couple of months ago. Took a fantastic edge, and was a very smooth shaver. There is a reason Kinfolks razors are so hard to find.

 

Was you the other bidder?

 

Looking forvard to give it a go on the hones must also say i am very impressed with the shumate

 

ended up with this collection, my u.s 7 day.
Genco expert
Torrey
G.H Christensen
Union cuttlery
Robeson shure edge
Shumate 256
Kinfolks blue steel.
think i did pretty ok

 

No, you did great!

 

finally found and won a nice case red-imp happy chappy

 

I have two of those. I am still looking for a Case 132 Wedge. The 133s are great shavers.

 

Holley-oldest cutler in US and they employed people from Sheffield so many blades have a "Sheffield" look.

HM Christensen Never had a bad one

Torrey- Can't go wrong. Many options to choose from plus you can find matching strops.

Genco- As good as case but can be found cheaper

Case- everyone knows about their cutlery reputation

 

There was one wedge just sold on ebay with red custom scales. I really looking forvard for this one.

You sure can ferret out the NOS straights. I think you have too much time on your hands.
