Razors

William H. Maher and Emil Grosh started the Maher & Grosh Wholesale Cutlery Co. in 1877 with a goal to sell high quality US manufactured cutlery globally. The original business dissolved in 1988, but the brand has since been resurrected.

Very nice razors, Roger. I'd love to know how they were shaped or ground and polished and honed.
Beautiful handles.

Wonderful old razors. Thanks for the pics.

I still shave with straight razors, but no M&G in the pile yet. I bet those would shave real nice.

No Greg I don't. I don't know enough about razors to tell who made them.I would be comfortable to say there had several manufacturers over the years.
