Does anyone know anything about my Boxed Haigh LTD " The Celebrated SENATOR RAZOR?

[davidnichols]

Hi everyone I am new to this forum. My father always used straight razors to shave with. When he passed away I inherited a few of his razors. I was looking some today and searching looking online to see if I could find any info about some of them.

This is a Haigh Limited razor called "The Celebrated SENATOR RAZOR" with the box. The box is weathered but is in good condition. Does anyone know the age of the razor? Is the box original and belong with this razor? What is the handle made from? Thanks in advance.

The box and razor both have the following marking:
Haigh Limited
77. Lord Street
Liverpool

Shame about the chip, it looks a nice blade. Don't know anything about the razor though, sorry! You could get it converted into a shorty if you want to use it. By the way is that a crack as well near the tip?

I'm not familiar with the brand either....but the chip isn't huge, it could be ground down without losing too much of the blade.
Don't see any reason to think that the box isn't original if they both have the same markings.

At any rate, it's a great looking box
