John Patterson
Has any one seen one of these before or know anything about them, dates etc.
Maybe I`m lacking in grey matter but I have just drawn a blank. It should be a good razor as the blade is very thin and sings on the strop but but is a bugger to hone, it seems to be very hard

Thats a new name to me but the "Sheffield" name inspires confidence in the quality of the blade. It is worth the effort.

Peter,
It's definitely a looker! Should be worth the effort.

due to the thinness of the blade I thought it would be easy to hone,however it took quite a bit on the stones
It shaves wonderfully however I`m not used to that shaped point and managed to stick it in my right ear. my face is starting to look a bit like a war zone at the moment ,with all the honing and testing of late.I might go back to my 5/8 ERN till things settle down
A bit of practice is obviously needed
Kind regards peter
