    Default Charles Pitts

    This razor came with scales showing the name James Tidmarsh and bearing the Cannon / Defiance logo known to me from Abram Brooksbank .

    The scales were therefore a later addition and the Logo came originally and slightly different from Charles Pitts.
    Charles     & John Pitts were brother and the sons of John Pitts.

    The razor dates sometime around 1845.

    Fittingly this razor had many pits. I removed quite a bit but was mainly focused on having a nice bevel and not pit removal.

    The scales were taken from my box of extras and a crack was fixed. The blade I gave a mirror finish. The shave was not bad but I will re visit this one next week hoping for an improvement.

    There is a lack of final photos but my latest shave video shows the razor close up.

    Many Thanks
    Joseph

    That was a Hart steel 7/8ths.. Kinda clunky and takes a great edge when treated properly .. Cheers
