Thread: That 1700's Show

This extra hole on the tang is very interesting, I've seen it on a couple of razors before. I wonder why they've made it...

After a little study, 1800-1820 french razor, I think, regards

Skinner warranted no idea how old could not find information on it. Unfortunately the scales were broken so had to fix.

Finally, I think i have one that belongs here! Cheapest of the razors I found in the wild also!! $8. And untold gallons of gas on the hunt!
Wood scales, look to be iron pinsand brass washers.

Anyone know who the P heart is?

Not sure about the heart mark, but I also have one with P* that you can compare it to.

My poor little razor with P on it, If wishes were horses, beggars would win the Santa Anita!
When I went to strop for the shave, the toe edge crumbled. The toe of the razors ( now two) have not enough remaining support to hold an edge. My take is that the reason the razor was retired is that it refused to hold an edge anymore. The rest of the blade from 1" back is a hair popper.
It will look great with Renwax and placed in a shadow box. Posted also on Stub Tailed

I only just realized that I never put this razor here, where it definitely belongs.



John Shepherd, circa 1790ish. 7/8 at the widest point and one of my best-shaving razors to boot!

That's the condition I got it in.

Hi, It´s a quite good place to show our older razors, and to present a index, well its my first one I´ll put here. It´s a Milns and Flower, thanks to the master Martin103, I learned this partnership desapear in 1800, the razor is older.
