    Man those are wonderful designs. Are there any general store books with his razors listed? Not sure what the books were called

    I've looked, but never found one. Catalogs like that going back to the 1850's are pretty thin on the ground, and while some do cover razors, I recall they didn't have a super wide selection.

    So If he made pen nibs in the Ramapo workshop, does this mean he was responsible for Ramapos?

    Surely his imported razors with his name on them came later than the Ramapo razors?

    MikeB52 has a Gilchrist which I have held in-hand and is an absolute Wade and Butcher Barber's use wedge in disguise.
    I will summon him to put on a pic.

    Yeah, that's exactly my thinking, Tom. He made the Ramapos, and the imported stuff came after.

    Guys, these are some impressive razors. Some uncommon, and very pleasing, designs. Fascinating thread
