Nice finds. I never have any luck with flea markets or antique shops.

I think I just answered this question in your member introduction or I'm having deja vu or something.
I think it is a Joseph Allen & Sons "Original Dagger Razor"
Made sometime between 1864 and 1891.
And you really should learn to shave with them, you won't regret it.GabrielMartin likes this.Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead - Charles Bukowski

NO! Don't frame them! Get them cleaned up, honed and shave with them! You'll be glad you did. Best shave you'll ever have. Your face will thank you for it.

Hi CrisWilson and thank you!
I started collecting about 3 month back.
Started with a shavette, used it about 10 times.
I then got my first shave with a straight razor, loved it!
I have now 8 in total but the two i have posted here which you good ppl have been kind to help me with i wont use, they too good to use and too old.
Just the fact of having straight razors from maybe over 100 years is just mind blowing!
Thank you sooo much!
All the best
Gabe

Hi Wayne!
I wish i could use, would love to but the Mappin & Webb has a crack in one of the scales right at the pin.
The Joseph Allen & Sons razor has loose scales.
I would be too frightened to send them somewhere for repair.
They both need a lot of work on the edge.
