Thread: Concave razor Can anyone indentify it?

Hi,

Some time ago I bought an old, rather unusual straight razor.
5/8", 1/2 Hollow Ground. A bit rusty, lots of black oxydation.
Blond horn scales but quite rotten.

There is no name on the tang, only the inscription Concave Razor. Above it, hardly visible,
letters VR (Victoria Regina) or WR (William Rex). Between the letters, a shadow of a crown,
typical for Sheffield razors. Searching the web, I've seen similar blades, apparently made by J. Elliot.


Please have a look at the pictures.
