I picked up some razors used and I found very little information on them. Two are in decent condition and two are in a condition I think would be good to learn edging and honing on. Anyway, here are some detailed pictures. I'm curious to see if anyone here could help me identify any history about these.
I would like to hear as much feedback as possible before I decide to do anything with them. Either way, I know they need work.
razor #1
On the blade it says "hausmarke"
the shank says " 7 5/8 cherusker"
other side says "benninghoven & Schaefer Solingen-Weyer"
overall the blade looks really good, some rust on the tang, I was thinking of soaking in CLR and polishing out with a dremel.
From looking inside the scales where the blade rests, it appears to be horn, I'm going to get the digital microscope and some macro photos tomorrow. I'll post better ones as well.
Heat of the moment excitement. Anyway, thank you everyone for any help. Please ask questions if it helps find out more info, I'll always take more pictures too
