I am proud to say I am the new owner of an Elliot as a new straight razor user I am excited! I have tried to find some information about the razor. Here are some pictures...Attachment 158199Attachment 158200Attachment 158202Attachment 158202Attachment 158203
Big thank-you to SRP member JBHoren for making this happen - what a unique blade!
Some months have gone by since receiving this fine Joseph Elliot, "Chinese Razor", from JBHoren. Since then, Valery from the Gentleman's Den has brought this beauty back to life.
Thank-you to JBHoren and Valery!
Here are the photo's:

Awesome scales! (and what Valery did with the rusty blade ain't too shabby, either)
Smooth shaving!
Okay, so we've got two Elliot threads here in the clubs... That's a bit weird.
This one has fewer than the other one, so I'll just leave this here.

Most of my Elliots.
They span about a hundred years of the company's history. The earliest is the carved ivory scale one (1810ish) at about 1 o'clock, the latest one is the celluloid one (1910ish) at 6 o'clock -- which trumps all that wimpy SILVER steel, as it proudly proclaims URANIUM!
Nice little collection Zak :tu
Another great Saturday afternoon, 1,000km away from the Royal Windsor Hotel in Cairo is Damascus, and since Wade and Butcher were in Cairo, Joseph Elliot took over Damascus I guess....I noticed this blade as it's design seems similar to the W&B, Ottoman and Egyptian Royal Windsor straight razor.
I looked around the web, including in the SRP database, and couldn't really find any information about this blade. The etching on the blade was described as Hebrew, and this was confirmed to me by a friend, however, couldn't quite make a translation from the pics.
Anyhow, here it is, the Joseph Elliot, Damascus Razor.
