Thread: Newbie with an antique straight razor, Rivington works?

Hey all,

I'm new to straight razor shaving and for some reason I love antiques, my mom got me a straight razor off of eBay because I like almost anything with patriotism in it, anyway I was wondering about the name behind it, its a Sheffield razor made by Rivington works, it's a military blade with canons etc on it. Any information on the person and if its a good razor because I've never heard of it before like Wostenholm and Wade & Butcher. Thanks in advance!
