Thread: Razor mystery

something says 1820-1830 to me. ive seen examples from this period coupling the same grind as this with the stub tail just starting to get a little longer like this one. the "concave" is like the faux frameback razors, ground the same way. with conventional hollow grind the razor is held perpendicular to the grind wheel. with these faux framback grinds the razor is held parallel with the grind wheel and overhanging the edge. takes a skilled set of hands and eyes to do these grinds right!
on the scales- no clue if they are original or not, if so they look like they survived well! great looking condition. and if they are original the shape suits the same time period I suggested for the blade.
