Hi,
Would it be OK I use the information for my "Dip-at-toe" article? https://historyrazors.wordpress.com/...8th-century-2/
Of course with your references!
Thanks!

Please do!
I recently spend a couple of days researching Henry Birks because I *thought* one of my very old razors was his, but marks that old are really tough to identify. Luckily, Joan Unwin was able to locate it. Only after I'd put it all together did I find that you'd beaten me to it on that page!
Thank you for putting all that stuff in one place, now I just need to remember to look there first. :P-Zak Jarvis. Writer. Artist. Bon vivant.

I recently found a very old razor. we can easily date it from the early 1700s, but I had a doubt about the country of origin. I think French because the main punch is already known (rosary), and present on the table of insculpation cutlers of the city of Chatellerault dating late 1600. But there is a second punch, smaller, seeming to represent two crossed swords. This is unusual in the tradition of French cutlery, because there should have been the name of the city of manufacture rather than a symbol (which could still represent a coat of arms). Then I saw the coat of arms of the first page of the Sheffield directory of Gales and Martin and I wonder now if this razor would not be of English origin. I therefore ask the opinion of the experts
