Thread: 6/8 Packwood near wedge

George Packwood was born in 1755 and died in 1811. This razor likely dates to the 1820's. Packwood sold razor strops and paste and was famous for his advertising poesy. It is believed his family continued to run the business after his death and hired various Sheffield makers to make razors with the Packwood name. This near wedge blade is restored in a glazed finish with an arris spine and fancy file work on the show face side of the blade. Based on the original one scale half it is presumed to be part of a 2 razor gentleman's set. New scales were made in honey horn with a lead wedge and brass domed collars. The in process pictures are the blade faces off the 600 grit belt and the bevel set.
