This is a fairly old straight razor I inherited from my grandfather. I believe it was the last one he bought for his barbershop prior to retiring. I never knew him as a working barber, so I suspect it was purchased in the mid 1950s.
I have never cleaned the blade so I suspect the fingerprints visible on it are my grandfathers.

This is a 16 exposure focus stack

I recall my dad being shaved with one of those back in the '50s.
That image came out beautifully with all the image stacking.

Thank you. I used a straight razor though not this one, for many years. At one time I could lather up a balloon and shave it.
