    No problem. I didn't understand your question about them.

    I do love Tortoise or sea Turtle and find it fascinating, the thickness, lined or not. It looks to me like these have bled a little through exposure to daylight.

    I do have serious man flu at the moment so probably shouldn't interact with others

    P* - John Fox, freedom date 1735 – RIP 1791.

    P „Hearth“ Ford – Jonathan Pitchford, registered at the cutlers company in Hallamshire 1760. Mark was let to his son in 1790.

    Both razors have a small but clearly visible dip at the toe. So the Pitchford razor maybe dates around 1770 – 1780, the John Fox maybe a little earlier.

    Stay sharp!

    I have never held a razor made in the 1700's. I really hope to enjoy shaving with such a lovely old razor one day.

    The shaves from those ol' razors, are incredible. If you weren't so bloody far away, I'd be happy to share, for I have a few.

    The one scaled in black horn, belongs to a member. I restored the scales for him.

    Does this razor qualify as a 1700's razor?

    I cannot quite read the maker's mark on the tang.

    Get those in the know a better shot of that stamp Randy.
    My uneducated feeling/guess is yes, and reground a really long time ago.

    I don't think that the tang has been reground so deep and was much wider once. That means the razor clearly has a shoulder which would rate it past 1800. Also the "rolling" form of the spine from blade and tang would rate it to the 19th century imho. My read on the tang is somewhat ...I own made... I don't think this is the maker of the blade.
    Those "cutlers poesis" as H.T. Lummus calls them, appear on razors in the 40's of the 19th century. He gave an example on one of his razors which reads ..I guess I shall do...
    I think the makers abreviations are above ..C. E. ...?

    Only my 2ct - i could be totally wrong on that!
    Regards Peter

    Here are a couple of pics of the tang stamp. I believe the first letter is an "I".
