Now THERE'S a shock :rolleyes:

True, but then I ain't that old ... yet.

<shrugs> Fair enough, 1891 it is then. :) Not like I'm going to miss an appointment around then. ;)

1892, I think, with razors made from 1893 on all being stamped (legal ones at least, there's no counting on what back-yard or black market shenanigans happened)

Aside from the square point it's very similar to one of mine which I presume to be around the 1920s. Must get them both cleaned up to send off for proper honing, now that you've reminded me.

I'm currently in the process of tracking down whatever remains of my Grandfathers' (that's both of them, not a typo) respective shaving kits. I distinctly remember my Grandfather on my mother's side...

Well, even if there were finding them would be conditional on someone, somewhere bothering to keep the items. Like many antiques it comes down to pure luck finding something that, was considered SO...

Yeah that would make tracing the history of these fascinating pieces much easier, now to start hunting through antique shops and deceased estates etc for further examples!

Ok, having read through this thread in it's entirety, and being absolutely stunned by some of the beautiful work here, I feel I should mention a little something.
