Thread: Razor from the 1890's

Yes, Welcome.
We like pictures. With the days of the week on the spines, they came from a seven day set most likely. Vintage razors of that era were made with fine steel so it should hone up nice.

They are pretty rough on the spine but not too bad (to my new and untrained eye) otherwise. A couple broken scales (but split along seam so can be repaired with pin) (photos show one with pin and one w/o). Has original box? in rough shape. I think I may try electrolysis to clean up rust (to try to save the etching). May lose the etching trying to hone but worth a try for rust. Photos below

Above is probably best condition. This one worst

This is whole set

Actually this is whole set

This is broken scale.

I could be wrong, but it looks as if not all of the razors are pinned are the wedge. And is your broken scale just separated? Not pinned either? Like just the glue as given out?
