Mab Co. The "Hollow Ground" 4/8

From Shave Library
Revision as of 01:02, 4 May 2009 by Hoglahoo (talk | contribs) (Mab Rd, The "Short Blade" 4/8 moved to Mab Rd, The "Hollow Ground": I do not think there are not enough differences in the MAB razors produced to warrant model-specific titles. Nevertheless I will assume this is the hollow ground version)

The cutting edge of this MAB dwarf razor is only 2 inches from tip to heel. The razor was available in plain or hollow ground, and in black or ivory scales. Scale pins are not original in this example

The company was listed at both 73 and 94 Newhall Street in Birmingham
