I have a tiny thumbnail bio of Thomas Scargill on this page (including a newspaper ad for Scargill 'Old English' razors).
There's not a whole lot of information to get on him.-Zak Jarvis. Writer. Artist. Bon vivant.

I love that second razor yardie! I've been looking to acquire an old one in that style.
I really want a pre 1800 blade. My oldest is a 1830-1837 W&B With a hand etched masted ship on the blade with detailed rigging, crew etc. I wish it would photograph better.yardie likes this.

That's beautiful Yardie! I love the way you did your scales if it was you that made 'em! If not I still love it!yardie likes this.

I don't believe my calloused Banana-Grabbers are capable of such fine exquisite work...it was another very skilled member that did this incredible restoration for me. Originally Posted by engine46

My Newest one, a Au Paris, possibly araound 1780 (if anyone knows something more, please tell me) with selfmade Hornscales with Lead Wedge (im not professional in making scales but i guess they look just OK).

Looks good to me. Great job!
Just looking at the blade through the scales, it looks pretty old around that time.

More 1815 - 1830 than 1780 in my opinion.
Too much work for a 1700' razor.engine46 likes this.

The Original Scales were made of Ivory with big hemispheric rivets, similar to your Razor in Post 324 here in this Thread:
