I'm really hunting for a few razors. One is a nice Mappin, another is a fencing foils Greaves, and another is something over 9/8. I'd also quite like a nice SatinWedge. That's all I can think of at the moment that I really want.

I like what Lynn said, Ive got a Harris-Goar, made in KC and sold by H-G in their catologs from way back. Its a 5/8 roundpoint, extra hollow ground etched on the obverse and We sell Elgin watches on Credit on the reverse. Its a great shaver, made and marketed here in the hometown and has a little rarity and history to it. What could be better!

As much as I agree with Lynn, there is one razor i really want that is my 'Holy Grail,' which i can not find for sale anywhere.
An ivory clad tang Rodgers with ivory scales. There is one listed within our database.
In fact, if anyone would be willing to sell it to me, please PM me. If not I remain deep within my quest to source and acquire this razor.

It's a Colley & Co. , 98 Arundel St. , Sheffield . They were in business from 1834 - 1844 . I believe the wooden scales to be original . I don't recall seeing a point like this either . The tang also has a unique shape .
