Thread: Crown Barber Supply Co.

I just got and restored a Crown Barber Supply Co. razor today, it says New York Made in Germany also. The razor has the name Perfecto inlaid in gold on the tang. I could not find any information on this razor at all, anyone know anything about these razors?

I have two similar razors but sold by Peter J. Michels.

Yeah it's about the thinnest razor I have ever seen. Must be made of good steel tho because it takes a nice edge. If anyone knows anything about it I'd be happy to hear it.

Now that I have my pics at hand, here are pics of one of the PJM's. They are great shavers.

This is what I found.

Probably, you're right.
Crown Barber Supply Co. was an importer company.
And the razor was made by Carl Friedrich Ern for them.
