Some time ago I asked here for help with the identification of a very old and rare straight razor.
Quite mysterious, searching the Web I could not find any razor nor manufacturer of that name.
It's only thanks to Voidmonster – THANKS AGAIN, the razor could be identified as a work of John Dyson,
who lived and worked in Sheffield around 1800's.
DYSON WARRANTED – the shape of the blade, scales and the stubtail – all that make this hypothesis quite likely.
As the original scales were completely rotten and cracked, I decided to make new ones of semi-transparent brown horn,
trying to preserve their original shape with old iron washers and an ivory wedge.
