Vaga started another thread with an old Wolf stub tail that got me on the road to really appreciating these relics. Have a gander, if you havent done so.

thank you, I did see that thread previously. these blades are gorgeous to me, I love the curves. the scales here look to be refinished- copper pins sanded to a bright finish, wooden scales also look sanded very fine. pretty but looks like replacement at some point in the past to me.

lovely ... just beautiful !!! I cant wait till the day I find me a early early piece of history to cut my face with !!!

Man! Imagine if it could talk!

I'll bet it would say something like: shhhhhhwushhhhh ssshhwushhhhhhh ssshhhh sshhhh

Undoubtedly!

I have it on good authority that the first owner of the Warburton Lisbon was named Edmund. He was a man of fewer words than the razor if you can believe that.

Hello dear! I would like to explain right away, I don't speak English, so if there are any errors, all questions go to Google). I would like to show you a photo of my recent purchase. Approximate information about it I know, but I would like to hear the opinion of forum users. Therefore, any information on the razor, I will accept with gratitude. I hope the branch was not mistaken. With respect

That's one fine specimen you got there. Most aren't in that good of condition.

That razor is absolutely beautiful.
Just hone and shave.
Congratulations.
