Wolf Stub tail restore
Hi all,
Let me show you this exceptional, very old straight razor.
WOLF & crown, Acier Fondu, 6/8”, wedge type, made by John Shepherd in Sheffield between 1770 – 1795.
This razor can be seen in the very famous booklet written by old judge Lummus.
The blade is still in very good, almost perfect condition. The honey horn scales were very dirty and a bit rotten,
but finally I managed to preserve them, as well as the lead wedge and iron washers. Only one brass pin was replaced.
Feel free to look at the pictures.

Is it to be a collectable only, or will you shave with it? I find the blade shape very interesting and can see how it can help give an excellent shave. Beautiful resto.

turned out great, I also am interested if you are going to use it or is it going to be just a showcase piece,.. btw (question for all
) do these old ladies generally shave well (I never tried one)?
