Thread: My new old Whipped Dog Catteraugus. Any thoughts?

I'd guess late 1800's to very early 1900's (teens) based on the design of the scales. That's a beautiful razor, and if you received that as part of a "sight unseen" razor deal, I'd say you got a score. Part of the fun of shaving in an "old-timey" fashion is the chance to use real "old-timey" razors. Looks like a great shaver to me. I love the smiling blade and the fancy old west style pattern on the scales. As far as sending razors packed in the obit section, well, probably not the best marketing practice while sending razors to potentially wary first time users, but I got a hell of a laugh out of it.
