Thread: I just bought a Clark & Hall vintage razor

Is this another SRP member or another organization outside of SRP? I'm so curious of this razor. The older it is, the happier I am. I went to the link you provided and found the stub tailed shavers in there still had somewhat of a tail. This one only has a stub without any "hook" at all. It maybe protrudes from the pivot pin about 1/4". Thanks so much for the reply! I can't wait to get my hands on it and hopefully shave with it. The blade appears to be in great shape considering the age. I've bought razors within 50yrs of age in much worse shape. Thanks!

If it doesn't have a tail and it has straight scales with no curve it is likely late 1700s to early 1800s. No distinct tang would be earlier than later as well. Here is manah's website which is great to browse if you're a razor freak like me.
