okay, why are the numbers on here? I don't know if they're telling the hardness of the steel where it was made at or what? they're different but I've seen different ones with the same numbers. I would say it's driving me crazy but I'm not sure this is not the only thing that did it
They could simply be the company catalog number and not the size. One has stabilizer the other doesn't.
^^^^ That Model Numbers are quite common on many brands and mean little else except to the Company ledgers...
do most people collect all of one kind or try to collect a bunch of different kinds certain kinds? LOL if I had one with the number 292 but needed one with 295 I guess the numbers would matter LOL I was just curious if they actually meant anything that somebody would collect or seek out, what other numbers are there on adorations?. thank you guys for a speedy answer
Not Adoration, but this ought to give you an idea... In Torrey's case, the first number indicated the grind of the razor. The subsequent numbers indicated the width of the blade and the shape of the point. Adoration likely followed a similar pattern. To use your example, a "295" would likely (originally) be a narrower razor than your "292," and might have a different point, assuming they follow a similar numbering convention, which you shouldn't assume, unless you look at a bunch of Adoration razors or find an old Adoration catalog listing like the above one of Torrey's.
Adoration by G&F "Ax" this is what is called a "Solingen Wedge" grind 9/16 as marked on box #292 stamp I got pics will post later, just came in for honing today, and I remembered this thread
