    The inscription "Ручаюсь На З Года" comes up with "I bet on the W of the Year." Makes no sense to me, but then again, sometimes translator sites aren't all that accurate...

    Give the scales a rub with a soft cloth & metal polish.

    The horn has some bug holes and chips on the surface but it's structurally very sound and really solid. Nice shaver too, and you don't get every day such a small bevel and spine flattening on a wedge.

    Lovely old wedge. Great to come across them with little wear.

    Does anyone have more info about these razors? All I know is that EM Dicksinson had an address in Sheffield between 1850 and 1870.

    Hi everyone,

    Here for your consideration is a fine example of silver steel by Joseph Elliot.

    'The Celebrated Wolf Razor'

    Enjoy!

    Sorry, I didn't see this thread before.
    "Ручаюсь На З Года", it's mean " Warranty for 3 years".

    Thanks! That makes a lot more sense. What language is that?
