Joseph Allan and Son's first shave.

Post by Colonel26 »

I broke out the old Joseph Allen and Son's, that I posted a while back, this morning for a shave. It's my first wedge razor and I must say it was the most comfortable shave I think I've ever had. From what I read hear were made from 1864-1925. If you want a good shaving razor that won't break the bank, I highly recommend them.

I cleaned up the seller's pics a bit.

I enjoy the heavier grinds myself. Got a couple of full hollows I use occasionally, but most of my users are the bigger "choppers".

Nice razor. Enjoy.

Thanks Willie! I was hoping you'd see this one.
