    Default 7/8 CHINESE RAZOR -straight razor

    (11)
    Manufactured 1820-1890. Back of blade hollow with Barber notch tip and single shoulder. Blade measures approximately 3 ⅛ X ⅞. Only marking on shank are Chinese characters (hence, the name Chinese Razor). Many English manufacturers made these for the American market. Could be Wm. Greaves, G. Wostenholm, Wade & Butcher or another manufacturer. Blade cleaned, polished and honed shave ready. Light pitting left as part of patina. Honey horn scales sanded and soaked in neetsfoot oil and polished. A few imperfections fuller with superglue. New brass pivot pin and washers.

    Light coat of oil for protection on blade. Please look at photos as they are best description.

    Honing: One layer of electrical tape on spine. Bevel set on 600 grit diamond hone. Then 6000 water stone and finished on 20,000 Jasper. Then stropped on canvas with diamond paste and then leather and disinfected. A $18.00 VALUE FREE

    I personally test shave each razor before final disinfection. Shave ready is different to each person. Factors like light or coarse beard or beard length come into play. I have a heavy beard and test shave every razor on a two day growth. If razor gives a stination and will be calculated before payment.

    Payment due in three days.

    Free USPS First Class shipping to U.S. only. Optional insurance $2.75 extra. If not insured seller is not responsible for damage during shipping.
    Outside U.S. I pay first $4.00, buyer pays balance. Optional insurance varies by destination and will be calculated before payment.


    Thank you.

    $65.00
