Thread: 3 New (old) Razors

I thought I'd share the 3 razors that just came in the mail
1. A mint condition, never used, still in the original protective oil coating, Mappin Brothers, Queens Cutlery razor in ivory scales (true mirror finish)
2. A mint condition, never used, Thomas Turner (Cutler to His Majesty) razor, still in the original protective oil coating.
3. The mysterious GB Anchor razor, in very nice shape.

Commence the drooling

Very beautiful... Salivation worthy indeed!!!

The mysterious GB Anchor razor, in very nice shape.

Really nice razor. But why mystery?
Brittain, Wilkinson & Brownell (Broomhead, Wilkinson & Brittain) used mark "GB" with Maltese Cross till 1861.

After, this trademark was used by Edward Gem & Co.

Well, son of a gun! I thought this was a "mystery" maker that nobody knew the origins of! Thanks for the history lesson So, it looks like mine has the maltese cross in your first image. But, my razor is a hollow grind, and has an anchor...have an idea as to what period my razor is from?

And, more importantly, why can't I find it in the wiki?

Very nice find! All three of them are in great condition. Enjoy!

GOAL! Nice score, sir.
