Straight razors. A collection of 10 different razors. (Display case not part of Lot and does not go with the razors). See photos for details. All have wood folk art handles. There are a few neat etched blades. Note: Replacement Fold Art wood handles have been witnessed on 19thCStraight razor blades as a testament to the frugality of shavers. Often it was the ?wedge? blade itself that caused the breakage if the blade was closed too far or the handle material was too fragile for the blade (ivory, tortoiseshell, pearl or thin horn scales). These wood handles were very well crafted, sometimes utilizing the original spacer and,or pins. For the past fifty years of collecting, I have not sold any of my Folk Art Handled Razors. However, they will be coming on the market now with the auction sale of my collection.
