Persian restoration

Hi there i'm brand new to the forums here so hope these pics show up ..
Been straight razor shaving for about a year now .

Cleaned it up and honed , had a shave allready turned out to be best shave yet !

A very nice find indeed!

As for the razor coffin (box), more often than not antique blades are found in non-matching boxes so it's very likely that it doesn't belong to your razor.

Nonetheless, enjoy your new razor :)

The etching is really cool.

That is a very nice looking razor. I love the etching and barber' notch. A very nice find indeed.

Thanks , had the best shave with it . Really thin edge , took very little work to hone . Makes me think it was never used .

I saw one of these with es-ex marked on the tang... Made by ern
