Thanked: 9Unknown Sheffield, assymetric wedge
Hi all
Just received 2 razors from Tony H - and I strongly urge everybody to try his services! Long story short, he sent one as a present, because I wanted to pay a bit more than what he was asking for the other razor.
The present is almost 7/8 and an assymetric grind: 1 side true wedge, 1 side 1/4 or so. It also has been cleaned / polished, and has replacement plastic scales. The only lettering on the blade (on the tang) is GROUND IN SHEFFIELD. Nothing else. This is faint, but it was probably almost erased in the restoration. The blade has only been sharpened on the 1/4 hollow side, the other one looks to be untouched by a hone. Almost looks like someone ground one of the sides to a true wedge?
I am mystified and have several questions
- Has anyone heard / seen such a razor? What's the story?
- Should I hone both sides (obviously, with a true wedge this would take a bit)
Cheers
Ivo
