Unusual Roberts in tortoise

Another recent find, an early 1800s Roberts razor. These are somewhat common, however this one is in tortoise, and the blade has some very interesting decoration on it. It is also quite small compared to other period razors.

Same here, it's really easy online with copy/paste/translate. It's really cool to have a physical copy in hand too.
