    Default Antelope 16 initial size? why they are different?

    I had my first Antelope already for some time now, obviosly that blade seen better times and sure had some loss Yesterday I've got second blade and I am confused now. Does anyone have any idea what was the initial size of those razors? Is it possible that they are THAT different?

    It's certainly possible that they were that different even when brand new as far as razors go, although I am not familiar with the Antelope brand

    Seven day sets often include razors that are different from each other in size both in length and in width. Sometimes wear is to blame but sometimes it is not

    looks to me like they were different to start with, I would say the bigger one probably started out 7/8, maybe bigger, it's got some pretty meaty hone wear.

    My guess would be that razors where made in such large numbers, mostly by hand, that there would be different people handling the task as well as slight changes as the years when by. As costs changed etching would change and so on.

    Just a guess really.

    I have several robeson razors with the same part numbers stamped on them and look nothing alike. Much like yours posted above.

    Obviosly counterfit, send them to me for proper disposal : D
