How does this Southern & Richardson look like?

[randomshaver]

Hi,
I thought to share this Southern & Richardson ivory scaled razor i bought past week with you, since I couldn't find a lot of them previously discussed.

I'd like to ask if the blade shape is supposed to be like that? To me it reminds me of frameback razors with that curved edge and tapered width, but I'm not sure.

Regarding blade condition, there is no big chips. The bevel is not reaching fully to the heel, and on the spine there is a locally deeper spot on the area near the heel on the show side, and on the other side nearer to middle. Otherwise the spine has not that much wear in my opinion, but I guess it could need some more experienced honing correcting to sharpen well.

The scales are damage free and it has what looks like a lead wedge.


Here's a previous discussion with same make, similar type razor I found while searching info on these.

It's the fanciest looking razor I've yet acquired, and I buy them only at flea markets and second hand shops that I frequent a lot and everywhere I go. And a good reason to post at last to these forums!
