John Sheperd was a razor manufacturer listed in 1774 in Redcroft. In 1787 the address was Hollis Croft. In 1797 the business was styled Sheperd & Sons. This is one of the earliest razors I have restored. 1780-1795ish. An elegant tapered blade 6/8 at its widest with fancy spine work. It is restored to its original glazed finish. The original pressed horn scales have been re-dyed black. The collars are period correct steel with brass pins.
