Oh man, not rain on this parade but a Taylor "Witness" for $30 USD ummmm yeah you "might" have missed out... Also the King Cutter yer going to use for practice, yeah that might be a waste of one of the smoothest shaving razors made.... There are many unknown brands, out there look for Sheffield steel or Solingen steel, look for little to no wear make sure the edge is straight and even and keep the price under $25-30 and you should be pretty safe.....I am assuming that if you guys are antiquing that you have the abilities to restore and hone these up?????
Because if not yer wasting time and money.... This of course is JMHO
Welcome to the dark side.....
Thanks. There was a bowl-full of those Taylor's so I should be able to pick up one or two without a problem. Not sure how I tell if it's a Taylor 'Witness' as the only words legible are 'Sheffield' and 'Made in England'.
From a brief Google search, there is a George H Taylor & Brother, Taylor Bros, & Taylor Witness (Needham Veall (Veal) & Tyzack).
Any clues?
Cheers
