Very well done! I agree with you about the patina.

An uncommon and vey nice razor! love the thumb notch. The horn survived all those years in fabulous condition, too. Great find and I hope it turns out to be a superior shaver for you.

Awesome! Just so you know -- the British hallmark on your razor actually says W R, not WG.
W R = 1830-1837
I also am amazed at Marshes & Shepherd's blade styles...for being in the 1830s it is truly bizarre that they were coming up with this stuff. Here is a blade in awesome original condition that I have that looks like Seraphim got ahold of it:
They were definitely a forward thinking bunch.

Thanks for the correction.
I'm not sure why I wrote WG... I even searched WR Hallmarks for about 2 hrs before posting

One thing I noticed was that the crown is sideways in these. I noticed also that the spines are tent shaped (mine is). One thing mine doesn't have... a frigging name stamp... grrr...
I love this razor though, feels like my 65 chevy one ton truck, doesn't get there fast, but it's smooth ride when loaded

I agree, these razors have a good amount of weight and make you feel like you're working out while shaving! Originally Posted by DwarvenChef
