Identifying old cut throat razors assistance please?

[carolisasinger]

Hi,
I found 12 old cut throat razors in quite poor condition while clearing my dads barber shop when he passed away 2 years ago. My grandad started the business in 1932. I’ve Googled a lot but as I don’t know anything on this subject it’s quite confusing. Wondering if anyone on here can help with identifying and dating the items please?

Further pics of the collection of 12 from my dads barber shop.
Big ask but if anyone can help with identifying and dating these I would be grateful.
Also, are these relatively easy to restore?

You might want to ask about these in the staight razor forums. That's where all the guys that know stuff about these hang out.

At least one, probably two of those have ivory scales, FYI.

I’d be happy with a few of them, and most would be candidates for restoration.

Generally dating from around 1910's, 20's ish.

Welcome!

Yes, early 20th century. Taylor Eye Witness was a popular Sheffield brand then. The Firth is one of the first, if not the first, stainless steel blade, and it might be scaled in ivory. They could probably all be restored and returned to use. Our fellow member @Doc226 would be one to ask.

Yup, the white scaled ones are Ivory,

Nice razors, none Super collectable, but all appear to be saveable, in good condition and made to shave well easily.
