Nice job ! I've also got some old razors I would like to restore, although they are in a good shape, some of them have some 'black' spots on them.

Bruno,
I really like the razor. Could you post a better pic of the tang stamp? It looks like the maker might have been a member of the craft.

I hope the picture is clear enough. It is stamped really deep so it survived the restoration intact.

To be honest, I suspect the smith was a mason because I don't see anyone else using the square and compass as a trademark.
But then again since he made razors from 1810 to 1836, I guess we'll never know.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

If I may ask: is this documented somewhere ? If there is public documentation about him I'd like to read it. I once did an internet search but that did not turn up anything useful. Originally Posted by BOGARTUS

Thanks for the pic Bruno. If this one ever comes for sale let me know. I have traveled much like the person who crafted this razor appears to have. I feel a kinship to the brother who crafted this razor as I do for all the brethren.

Bruno,That is really a job well done.I have one that has the name as well as the square and compasses.If John Barber was a mason as some one stated,I think the Grand Lodge of England should have a record.These razors are getting harder to find,especially very nice ones like yours.I have never shaved with mine,please let us know how this one shaves.Best regards Gary
