That's my recent purchase, John Pitts Сelebrated Sheffield, most likely 1830-1840, wedge and absolutely stunning handle.

Stunning razor, grats!
That is an interesting piece. The scales look older than the date you guessed, but the tail looks newer. And I'd bet the blade was reground too.
Very cool find.
You're right.
The razor isn't so old, John Pitts 1850-1875.
I've read about such scales at that period, Robert A.Doyle wrote about them.
Beautiful scales! Congratulations. Planning to shave with it? I would be afraid.
I have more than enough razors to shave with, this one will be out of shaving rotation for sure :D.
Very beautiful and rare old timer you have there.
Can you tell are those nice made of pressed horn or tortoise?
How about this? I believe you seen this book. :D Those razors are wedge too
