Some early 1800s French razors
Just got a lot in from France, with some highlights. Also some more recent acquisitions; I've been lately very interested in French razors.
First up, a pair in tortoise. I've still got a lot to learn about French styles and makers. The collars are silver.
A razor from Fleet Street, by T. Barrett.
3 Old French razors. The top one is the oldest and has interesting curved horn scales.
And finally, one from a rather rare maker, Benjamin Withers and Co., trademark "ESPAGNE". Listed in Gales and Martin 1787, I'm assuming this dates to somewhere around that time.
That's all for now. A Merry Christmas to everyone!

That is a cool collection of French.
I am by no means a historian but I thought "warranted" on the blade would put it into the 1800s some. Will watch and see I guess. I am getting used to being corrected :<0)Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
