Maybe we all can chip in and raise the funds to buy at least one of these.....
SRP community owned .... We can share them.....
Each of us can have them for a few weeks at a time and then pass them on to the next person.......
Is it over there or over yonder?

I noticed that the etching on the blades and tang are blackened. Was this the "norm" back in the day?
Or were they filled in by black wax or something else to make the etching stand out more?
Most older razors you see today are not filled in.Is it over there or over yonder?

Looks like they were blackened with some graphite IIRC, a common way to "enhance" an etching...after a shave or two....gone.

I wonder if that was done back in the 1800s or was done as a modern technique? Originally Posted by Phrank

Very nice sets but the asking price is far in excess of what I'd be willing to pay. I won't want to insult the seller with my best offer either.
