Thanked: 7Roberts warranted. Everyone will say that the razor is old, but no one can tell you about the manufacturer. A cross between frameback and hollow ground. How could this be done in such a long time ago?

Thanked: 154It's a beauty
As for the how, seeing the profile of the blade could give a better idea, but it's not like the smiths of old did not know how to hollow grind a razor it's just :
- They seldom did it (not the same stones or techniques used, and harder to do on the whole)
- People did not like itBeautiful is important, but when all is said and done, you will always be faithful to a good shaver while a bad one may detter you from ever trying again. Judge with your skin, not your eyes.

Thanked: 7Probably so. However, it is generally believed that until 1860-70 they could do nothing but near wedge. It turns out they could.

My Rodgers is well worn It reads "Rodgers Refined Steel"
The next is Gilbert Saville and that is an early rattler..
Finally just one more "Virg Cast Steel" Not a rattler at all
Not sure why the pictures rotated.

Thanked: 7Beautiful razors! Rodgers, indeed, is similar to Roberts. I also saw a Concave razor like my Roberts, and a John Barber.
