Now I could correct! I saw nothing about Congreve being a partner! So, Manah, do you think this razor was made as he was affiliated with Naylor, Hutchinson, and Vickers, or after He left them in 1834?

That is some pretty interesting history, but aside from that, you have one beastly razor there. Very nice. How does it shave?
