Thread: Interesting age this Rogers

I'd like to know the age of this razor. Maybe someone has catalogs, or has a razor like that. I would be grateful for any information.

here's some info on the company that might give some help . There is also a Rodgers club on here that might interest you.https://sharprazorpalace.com/razor-c...y-rodgers.html

Better to ask a question at the club?

The razor is stamped "cutlers to their majesties" which refers to Queen Victoria and Albert Prince consort according to this https://sharprazorpalace.com/razors/...majesties.html see post #5. Made sometime during their marriage?

‘Cutlers to their Majesties’ dates it to no later than 1901 when the warrant was retired upon the death of Queen Victoria. It’s also stamped ‘England’ which puts it 1896 or after. Victoria passed in January of 1901, so really you’ve got about a 4-year window based on the stamps I think. Maybe Zak or some of the other more knowledgeable folks about English razors will chime in.

Many thanks for the information! I didn't pay attention to the pronoun in the stigma. It turned out to be important! I just don't understand why you call it 1896. It seems that the law, as a result of which the producers had to put the country of origin, was adopted in October 1890. So where did 1896 come from?

A brain fart, lol, the labeling requirement went into affect in 1891 I believe.

I enjoyed the new knowledge. Thank you, friends, for helping to understand.

I just finished a Gentleman's set of that razor. Same stamp and bone scales too. Post 1890 blades. Restored to their original type finish. Crocus blade faces and glazed tangs.

Got the same one so they are not very rare...
