I recently won an ebay auction for a razor, well I was the only bidder so that improved my chances. I’m sure the seller did not know and neither do I, but I purchased it solely on the name inside the tin lid. Trade Mark “Feather”. If there wasn’t a chance the razor was a Feather I would not have bought it. I’m hoping someone can shed some light on this razor so I’ll present the specifications from what I can see.
· There is nothing written on the razor
· The head is made from stainless steel
· Marks are visible on the blade side of the plate probably from the rolling process
· The blade posts and the centre post attached to the cap are not machined in place, maybe spun (friction) welded into position
· No visible marks of spin welding on the outer face of the top cap.
· Accepts modern DE blades
· I would say the handle is stainless but I cannot be 100% sure
· The diameter of the handle is about 9.5mm
· Length 73mm
· Problem here is that the handle tray in the box is about 83mm
· Outside of the box is knocked about and dented
· The inside of the box is in far better condition
· One H&R blade and two wrappers
Any assistance in identification would be appreciated. Thank you.
