Philadelphia razor - HD Justi
I have a soft spot for the city, so have managed to collect a number of Philadelphia-associated razors.
My most recent is from Henry D. Justi (not 'Justice'). He appears as a razor manufacturer, not just a seller, in McElroy's Philadelphia directory from 1863, based at 808 Arch street. There's not much there today but a parking garage and a building for rent. The razor looks very much like some French framebacks.

Nice razor in great shape. Are you going to clean it up and Shave with it? Looks like it will hone up great. Congrats.

I had seen that! What interested me was that L Herder was listed at 606 Arch St. Must have been quite the street!

I rest my case.

I just sold an L. Herder shoulderless 9/16 that I loved shaving with. Lots of awesome Philly history behind it as well.
Ontopic: That is a really awesome-looking razor. Should clean up nicely.
