The incredibly rare Packwood 'Old English' razor, along with the Greaves I picked up at the same time.:




So rare, As a matter of fact... I can't ANY reference to an 'Old English' razor by Packwood, (or vice versa) on the internet, and the only reference to a 'Packwood' razor that I've found with a date is in the Henry T. Lummus article on Sheffield razors... (that date was 1828.)

I'd really like to know more about this razor, but my search fu has run out.

As you can see, the scales its wearing are way too short for the blade. (not sure what the scales are made of, horn maybe? The wedge is lead.) so I'm planning on making some new scales for it, but I'm definitely going to keep the old scales around.

(I know these are the same 2 razors I posted the other day, but I want to find out more about that Packwood!)
