Hide it, some people here are really crazy about Wolf's razors ;)
I have my Kippax razor here that was only produced in one year that I know of & that is 1787 according to my Goins Encyclopedia.
He did and his name was Robert to! of course! Robert was in business with Thomas Nowill, the business was
"Kippax & Nowill". After Robert death in 1775 his son Robert junior joined the business with Nowill and it was called "Nowill & Kippax".
There is no evidence of junior using only Kippax on his work, but his Father Robert used the Kippax mark alone according to Reminiscences of Sheffield by R.E.Leader.
Thats why i said that your razor was probably made by Robert the father and he passed away in 1775.
