Hi All
I am looking for some advise for a friend - she has just inherited 2 DeHaven razors, and wondered if they are worth anything. I haven't seen them as yet so testing the water.
The first i believe is a No 1 - in a wooden box with two blades and a tube of oil (she thinks) - the razor is clean and has no marks - and she believes everything opens as it should. Blades dont seem to have been used.
the second is a no 3 in a bakelite box, again two blades one blade seems to be showing sign of rust. again razor seems to open and close with no give.
So are these worth anything? if so what? (accept this is based on the limited info i have provided)
I see on google the blades are very proprietary - anyone come up with a recent blade that would work in these razors?
Anyone used them - quite tempted to take them off her - but only if they could be used etc?
if anyone can shed more light on these would be appreciated.
