    Cool Older Chinese Symbol Sheffield... 中国使用符号剃须刀

    I've had this one for awhile and finally decided to do something with it. No 'makers mark', just the Chinese symbols, but definitely a Sheffield blade. Hard to date this one but my guess would be latter half of the 19th century. Spectacular shaver...very smooth! Two-tone finish with Original scales...

    It translates 'This belongs to JimmyHAD, please return if found' ...... the way I read it ......
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Thanks Guys! ...

    JFK742...Can't say much about the tail except that I really like it and this razor really fits nicely in the hand when shaving....and Pixel...I agree that it would be nice to know for sure what the letters represent. I did a little Chinese language research BUT no luck finding the right corresponding English words to the symbols. I did find out that the Chinese characters for "RAZOR" are any one of these as follows: 剃刀, 刮脸刀, 剃, 削.

    Here's a close-up of the symbols. Maybe someone out there in razor-land can help... ...

    And here are some before pics of the razor before I cleaned it up. No "Minimalist" restore on this one...

    +1 on the tail question...
    I really like the 'washers,' the shape set flush in the scales!
