    This isn't anything about the language evolving, just changes in typographical practices. That long "s" was common in non-final positions.

    I appreciate the old lost razor adverts, Martin!

    Really cool bit of razor history!
    In a way, it reminds of some occasional threads about things lost in the mail, stolen from the mailbox, neighbor signed-for, long gone razors.

    Probably never did show-up, eh? I expect these did not either,,
