There are actually several out there to be found, in antiques stores & flea markets; they are just hard to spot. Great shavers though,,,:shrug:
,,,give us some photos of your razor & we will gladly help you out. :D
I am trying to upload photos but i cant figure out how to do it.
In your reply box, there is an option on the second row that says "insert image" when your cursor goes over it. Click on it,,, use the "from computer" option,,,,it will go to your computer,,, find the file on your computer,,, then upload it.
I have tried multiple times when I select the file and hit upload files a little red ! pops up and wont let me so I have no other clue how to upload a photo
Bear888, save a photo (jpeg) onto your computer, then the forum software will bring it here & place it for you.

Bear888 welcome to the forum. I dont have any info on your razor as far as manufacturing, I would guess its around 1860's. It has horn scales (handles) and is a near wedge blade. Guessing around 3/4 blade width.
If you're curious about that measure from the top of the spine to the cutting edge and this will give you blade width just be careful of your fingers in case it is sharp. Scales appear to be broke at the wedge end but sure looks like it would clean up nicely. Hope this helpsbin some way.
