Hi everyone.
I've just received my first straight razor, and I'd love to know more about it. I've googled the engraving, and all I can find is a couple of similar razors for sale, but nothing in the manufacturer.
The blade has “Crown and Castle†engraved, along with a crest depicting those things, and “Extra hollow ground razor†underneath. Also “made and ground in Germanyâ€.
It's clearly old, and came in a similarly old box (apparently it cost 10/6). I'm guesssing it's had a handle replaced since the others for sale online all have more decorative handles.
Can anyone shed any light on it please? Possibly even a rough date of manufacture?
Thanks a lot.
Ian.
