Thread: Replay

Sorry, but I´m not all the time online, when I realised my post was closed, and around it grow up this lots of comments, I´ll be impressed, It was not my intencion to make to any controverse. But I Think I must post my opinion, to close finaly it, don´t you think it?. First of all, I can not find any malicious coments, only opinios, quite healthfull all of them. The metod used to restaured a razor is diferent in each situation, this was a quite maltreathed razor, luckly the blade is more or less in good condition, and for mi it was the most important, Im sure that this blade dated arond 1750, by the rest of objects with it recovered, If you work with atiques you know if a place is intact or no. My interest around it is the study about the subtailed blades, no tailed blades, and his marks. The rest is completly personall, I´m a bit archaeologist, first because I´m really archaeologist, unemployed, but archaeologist nevertheless. I use 4 razors for my personal shave, but I habe aroun 400, obbiusly, all of them are not in condition to shave anybody, unless he want to cut his veins, and in one ore two is provably he´ll dead firs by tetanus...jejejeje....In the presen case I wanted to conserve the razor like I found it, I rescuted it from a metal box found in a wall, wth another things, no rich house, sure.....But the nail for me was not correct to protect the wood of the second scales, the oxidation will make the break bigger and bigger, and I decide sustitute it for a normal pin, but I sure in the past here are not any pins....well is no important. I only used carpenters´s glue, another pin and used washers and a bit portion of cianoacrlate resine to cober the hole, no more, them wax and for me is enaugth to study it. The mark in the blade is important really. I think we don´t know a lot about razors before 1770, I habe one ore two countryside blacksmith made, and without marks. Made in quite little places, like Pirineos. Well, for me I can not find any important subjet to be angry at all. no body must be worried for his opinions, and I think, but is only my opinion and the google traslator opinion, no post must be closed, but is only my opinion, thank to all your advices, and, we will be happy to could share our little knowledge. To end, Wath abouth the marks now you knoy a aproximate date around 1750?...jejejeje, regard to all and thanks

Thank you for your post Roberto, you did a fantastic job & I'm very sorry your previous thread was closed. I must say, looking at the razor, you are most likely correct with the date it was made. It is a beautiful specimen & I would love to own one like it any day. We are alike in many ways & I have quite a few straight razor's like you do & I truly cherish the older ones I have. I have one that most likely dates back to the mid 1700's & a few that are just prior to 1800. You are truly a great guy at heart & you made me laugh when you say "all of them are not in condition to shave anybody, unless he want to cut his veins, and in one ore two is provably he´ll dead firs by tetanus...jejejeje". I find that a bit humorous but it is so true. I have a few that would fall under that category. It is a great honor to have you here as a member & also to be a friend to me. Thank you very much & I look forward to you sharing more of your old pieces of history! You should add your razor here to the "1700's Show":

Thanks for reposting, Roberto. It was unfortunate what happened with the previous thread. Perhaps comment will be kept to the subject this time.
A lovely item, this old razor you have preserved. Well-done!

Thanks Tom!

No. Thanks should be to to Roberto! Please include the pictures from the first thread, Roberto. Most interesting!

I will be following the thread , I am sure no one would want to rob the OP of a nice discussion of a rare piece.

Read the original thread, and I like the way the razor turned out.
