    And apparently someone liked using that one on Saturdays?

    Looks like a little pitting near the toe edge but not likely a problem.

    I have restored / honed 3 & they all seemed like well made razors
    This one was H-A-R-D steel.

    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

    In 1837 book History, gazetteer, and directory, of the west-riding of Yorkshire John Heiffor also mentioned as razor manufacturer. Under diffrent address though. 51 scotland street.

    I owned a Heiffor near-wedge razor for a while and it always treated me right. I foolishly sold it off, and if I saw another one for a reasonable price, I'd pounce on it. My prevailing memory is that the Heiffor was an extremely gentle shaver.

    I received back the razor from Don and Lynn last Friday.
    Today I used it for the first time.

    It was the smoothest shave I have ever had.
    It didn’t feel like an instrument with an edge, but like a feather, or a female caress.

    Thank you Don, thank you Lynn!
