    Default Help with age of these three please

    Hello,

    Let me start off by first saying i am still very new to the lifestyle and very inexperienced. I recently purchased these three razors and I am very happy with them. I love the history of such a personable object and would appreciate any I sign as to the approximate age. The person who sold me the first one guesstimated 120yrs + and I was curious if anyone on the forum was able to have a more specific age range of the blade. I looked up the manufacturer and they were in business for many years,
    however to my newbie eye it is very hard for me to date specifically.

    Here is what I know about them:

    1) 5/8 Near Full Wedge (not much hollow to it) Joseph Rogers and Sons made in
    Sheffield EnglanD

    2) full hollow grind quick &easy
    on one side and on the reverse "s.r droescher sollingen Germany" it also has an "SRD" with an arrow through it.

    3) "tropical 44" on the razor. Made for a barber supply in Florida.

    I am more interested in the approximate age and history then any value and would
    appreciate anybody's guess as
    to approximate age.

    Thank you, and I have enjoyed reading a lot of your posts as I attempt to learn the lifestyle.

    BTW.. This is my first time uploading photos..
    so they may be out of order **fingers crossed**
