    Default Vintage straight razor

    I thought I'd post some photos of an old straight razor that was given to me years ago. I don't use a straight, and this razor is probably well beyond it's usable life, but it's an interesting piece.

    The box reads:
    Germany
    Lion Brand
    Manufactured by
    YANKEE CUTLERY Co.
    No 607
    Each Razor Magnetized
    Price $2.50

    You're right. Completely unsusable...in fact it's plain Dangerous. You should send it to me and I'll safely dispose of it for you.

    Pictures are difficult to judge by, but that razor looks like it's still in the puppy stage of it's usable life. You should send it off to be honed, and give it go for yourself.

    I agree, you can't trust that thing. I'll be happy to properly dispose of that dangerous item for you.
