Manufactured 1830-1890. Back of blade hollow with Lancet grind and Barber notch tip. Blade measures approximately 3 X 13/16. On blade “CELEBRATED CONCAVE RAZOR”.

Light pitting on blade does not affect edge. Very tight hairline about 1” from tip does not affect shave. Dark horn scales sanded and polished with original pins. This razor has been in my rotation of 9 razors for a year and always gave a smooth comfortable shave. Only selling it to make room for my fifth William Gilchrist.

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 stroped 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 close comfortable shave I call it shave ready. If it does not shave right I re-hone the razor.

Payment due in three days.
