The MAB dwarf NOS razor shoulderless french point
Picked this little guy up from a seller in Canada. The Mab dwarf razor. It is a shoulder-less hollow grind from the late 1800 to early 1900 from Birmingham England. It is a NOS (new old stock) razor, never honed or used all original with its box. Just needed a little polish to clean it up. Unique razor with a 2 inch cutting edge and French point. You dont see many of these in this condition. Now the difficult decision will be hone and use or leave NOS.

Give it a hone and a shave, the poor thing has been waiting a long time to do her job.

Hone with tape and use it at least once.

That is one good looking razor. I have said this before but I love a shoulderless razor with a french point, hone that baby up and use it.

I agree with 32t, honing with tape is the ticket.
Bread and water can so easily become tea and toast

+ 1. Sort of like "if no picture, it didn't happen." If no hone and a shave, it aint a razor. Originally Posted by RezDog
