I picked up a vintage J A Henckles straight razor dirt cheap, very clean blade, near flawless, no rust at all. Tangstamp has the twins and company name, and on the opposite side has a merchant stamp ( Buerger Bros ) I tracked down the company Buerger Brothers beauty supplies, Denver. Their warehouse was built in 1929, they closed up shop in 1972ish i think, but that's a heck of a gap.
Sharpened, stropped, and shaved with it. Cuts nice and smoothe. There is a good bit of the back wedge worn down from sharpening, so I'm thinking it's fairly old.
The handle/scales, are a black plastic, probably a celluloid, and ther is an orange (G10?) spacer.
I can post a pic if that will help.
Just curious.
