It having Sheffield "England" dates it after 1881. Cool razor!

Yeah, I usually try to collect things older, from the early to mid 1800's but couldn't pass up the weird spine on this one. Haven't seen many like this, plus no one was bidding on it so I picked it up cheap.

My guess is it's a moustache razor, with the spine work at the toe to allow the barber to place his finger maybe to apply some pressure while trimming? Just a guess...can see that spike on the toe being original though, looks like it would tear a strop quite easily.

@Phrank That is a good possibility, as it is fairly small for a W&B from what I've seen on these forums.

I've had the same idea Andrew. I know you have seen others on here as I have. I was looking earlier but then had to leave for a few hours. Originally Posted by Phrank

It's just a fancy styling. There's other fancy details all over the blade as well. Examples of less-common points on Joseph Elliots: Originally Posted by engine46

Picked this one up yesterday. 7/8 half hollow. Removed the pins and cleaned up the blade and scales.
