Thanked: 4826Those are a pretty sweet find. I have no idea as to any details of your razors. They look like they are in fantastic shape and need to be honed and shaved with. I'm envious of your find. Good luck and happy shaving

Very nice razors, late 1800s? In those days tails were made shorter.

Based on the design of the blades, shape of the scales, I'm going to guess 1800-1810. The real expert historians will be along to give you a more positive estimate. Beautiful set !

Beautiful razors indeed! I would not attempt to clean up or restore those, but keep them original and use them for what they were intended: shaving!
