    Default Phantom Razor

    Hello,

    I know the title is a bit much, couldn't find a razor in the data base here on SRP. Here's the information, if anyone knows anything i'd like to know a much as possible...
    -on the handle "J. Stevens & Son England"
    -on the blade "The Damascus True Rina"
    -Full hollow
    -8/8
    -3/4 inch tang
    -spike point
    That's all i know...

    Do you have any idea how old this razor could be? (or when they stopped manufacturing) Also what does "Damascus true Rina" mean?

    Most likely, nothing. Advertising.

    I'll have pictures after i get the restoration done, the scales were rotting(smelled bad) but the razors looking much better. I contacted the company (the modern version) they couldn't tell me anything about the razor

    Default Pictures

    Here are some Pictures as i promised, it's been sanded up to 2000 grit, the lettering was not readable until i began to restore it. Maybe judging by the style an approximation of age can be made? Please excuse the prototype scales...
