I didn't intend on buying these but I couldn't resist does anyone know anything about straight razors? I know that I sure don't.

I tried to look them up in my knife book but it doesn't have a good section on razors and it definately doesn't go into detail. So here we go. tThe first one is marked"ANDREW COLUMBUS, COLUMBUS BARBER COLLEGE, COLUMBUS OHIO" on one side and "WESTER BROS, ANCHOR BRAND, MADE IN GERMANY" on the other.

If you Folks like straight razors, I will share a few of mine with you. I sell very few straight razors anymore myself, they do not seem to bring the money they deserve for some reason. I sold one on eBay that had a nude woman bathing under a waterfall on its handle. I put it on there with a low starting bid thinking it would take care of its self, BAD MISTAKE! I would like to have that one back. I think they will come back into their own in the near future though. Sorry the pictures ware not a bit better, sort of got in a hurry taking them, in a lazy mode this evening.

Those are nice, I would have liked to have seen the one you sold. I haven't ever collected razors before so I don't have a clue about them.

This one says " DAYS SPECIAL, HUBERT DAY AND SONS" on the blade and"WISS AND SONS, NEWARK N.J. " next to the handle.
