Is it pressed horn handle?Quote:
I think is from the late second half of the 1700's.
If yes, pressed horn with such picture, I think 1815-1825.
Can you show the blade?

This set is a almost new compared to some of the heirlooms I'm seeing here! But at least I can date it fairly precisely to no later than December 12, 1889. ;)
Joseph Rodgers & Sons matched pair of 6/8ths in ivory:

Those Joseph Rogers are extremely nice. Where did you find that set at?
This is my oldest razor in rotation. My estimate is that it was made in the 1820's. Original pins. The scale is cracked but doesn't seem to be getting worse. I have a couple blades I think are older but they're not ready for use.

The handle is wood.
Looks like pressed horn.
My Joseph Rodgers prior of Queen Victoria reign.

I guess I should take new photos now that it's honed. The steel is still vintage though :)
