    Default L & co 17/16

    Just won this off the bay, I think it may have flying under the radar, or have a giant crack In the blade (like my last eBay "score")
    I did some searching for l&co, looks like it could be Lowe& Co, maybe one of our historians can share some insight
    I'm really looking forward to trying this one on!

    Thanks for looking,
    Eric.

    I was thinking there was a letter missing before the L, look at this thread: http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...st-e-l-co.html

    So it was YOU who stole that away from me! I was trying for a matched set! I got the other one, at a slightly higher price with the etching worn off it!

    We really are our own worst enemies!


    Heh, I just looked again, and they are not a set after all, Mine is a Louis and Mier
