and.......................?
Now Iīm exasperated!
So you have a beautiful razor in great condition:- original oak scales with brass pins and collars, barber & thumb notch, no jimping, English mid to late 1800s.
However I/we NEED the details:-
7/8 or 8/8
full wedge or near wedge
and above all, who made it?
beautiful razor for sure, just donīt tease us.
ps my preference would be not to change the scales to carbon fiber. Maybe keep the pins and collars and choose another wood you prefer...but its not mine

Maybe not original scales, it's hard to believe they would survive so nicely while the blade turns black, but they look old and the shape is certainly period-correct. Give them a little love.
Don't get hung up on hanging hairs.
