Apologies I haven't been posting too often recently, but loss of job and new found work has kept me more than entertained. Little time for much else outside of family and rejigging finances.

However not to say I haven't been shaving, anything but and still swearing my R89 does more than a wonderful job for me. Occasionally swearing at it as well.

A friend of mine has recently come forward to me with a straight razor and wondering if it has any value and any background on the brand? I find it rather nice that it has its original box and do pass it by if it is worth renovation. Any information gratefully received.





Thanks in advance

I Got this One Factory Fresh & it Took a the Finest of Edges when I Honed it.:)

So many thanks for all your replies and wonderful to hear it has respect. I think a renovation looks a nice way to go after viewing your wonderful photos. Something to chew on
