In all honesty - i was curious about that, what is it about hte shape that marks it as 1795 vs 1765?

And this is a razor around "1795-1800":

The missing heel? Ok, i have seen this in many razors from that era, and always wondered about this - the cutting edge at the heel is curving inward a bit

The spine of the "1795-1800" is curved, and there is a very slight start of a "heel"
