Like it, that is huge blade, nice find!
Nice find, I am coming to like the big blades better. :rock:
I love the razor and great to look at but not a fan of using them. I use straights on clients (around ears and neck) it hard to see around the big blades,,,,, and just not use to them.Quote:

Pretty sure marsh stopped using the pond works stamp around 1860ish and vr crown is for victoria who reigned from 1840ish to 1901 (off the top of my head so dont count on this being 100 pct correct lol...too lazy to look it up again, i restored a marsh brothers recently)
The dates for the stamp is somewhere between 1837 and 1852 and Dennis gave me the history when he restored the one for me..Quote:

Thank Dennis . I read up on it and it does have a long history. hard to believe something that old could still be used everyday!! awesome!!Quote:
