    Default My first stubby.

    Here is a stubby I got for twenty bucks. Very excited to hone it up and start shaving with it. Only wish I knew the maker. I did leave some war scars but I think it and some flavor.

    Razor rich, but money poor. I should have diversified into Eschers!

    Looks like silver steel on the tang but can't make out the spine if it is warranted or an actual name?
    Saved,
    to shave another day.

    Nice razor! I have a Joseph Elliot razor that has the 'Exact' same profile as this Barber that I am currently restoring. They could be 'twins'. Perhaps the same workman made both razors? Interesting...

    Anyway...very nice example of a1820-1830's vintage razor, and a real bargain for $20!
