Fixed the broken scales, I tried to salvage as much of this old razor as I could. Attachment 171759
Finally, I think i have one that belongs here! Cheapest of the razors I found in the wild also!! $8. And untold gallons of gas on the hunt!
Wood scales, look to be iron pinsand brass washers.

Any one know who the P heart is?

It looks a lot like my pair of P* Samuel Norris. The P is exactly the same.
I don't know if he also made a P<3...
Nice catch Richard! I think the scales could be original ...
I'm pretty sure it wasn't Norris. None of his listings use the heart symbol. Here's the 1774 Gales & Martin entry for Fox & Norris:

The only mark I can find that I think is a good match is Jonathan Pitchford, but the way it's presented in the book makes it unclear if he was using two different marks (as many did) or a single mark incorporating all the elements.

I've definitely seen Pitchford razors that are P(heart)ford. It doesn't seem out of the question that P (heart) could also be his mark, but I wouldn't count on it!
