Here is a razor I picked up off the bay. This exact razor was dated to "pre-1760" by the member Fikira here:

Take that with as much salt as you'd like :)
Regardless, this razor is OLD. I chose not to follow through on a better polishing job because, well, this fat wedge's "character" would take forever to sand out.
Last time I went down popsicle stick lane it was suggested I make the scales a little thinner. Here is a stab at it with only a single stick on each side. Too thin for me. Next time I will double it up again and profile it out.
Yes, it was awesome to shave with something as old as General Washington, Louis XV, and Issac Newton (possibly).
