Joseph Rodgers info please, also showing off a bit.
This arrived today. I am pretty excited to try it but I have already shaved :(
I wonder if anyone can tell me the age of the razor. I think that it predates 1890 as I believe after that the country of manufacture had to be stamped on it. A previous owner has scratched a date on the back of 2.2.81 of course I can't be sure which 81 that was. It could have been someone who had it passed down or bought it in 1981 but it was definitely made long before that.
It also says cutlers to their majesties on the blade which I think makes it Victorian. There is a number 6 on the scales, I don't know if that means it was originally part of a seven day set or if it refers to a manufacturer's model number. Or even their address on Norfolk Street.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anyway here it is.
