    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    Those razors really look odd to me. The blade to tang with no apparent transition is typical of a late 1700s razor, but the stub tails are longer and shaped differently than any from that period I've seen, and the scales are slightly curved like those from the early 1800s. They must have been restored since there are grind marks all along the belly of the blade. Nice looking set and maybe the real deal but odd to me.

    Agreed, almost to good looking to be true! the stub tail end scales looks weird to me, i prefer a razor in good condition and showing its age, these almost look new to me and so bright!
