Too easy.

To make up for my terrible crime, here's the razor I got as a follow up.







I think my restoration options re going to be limited, but it's not like this razors with this grind come along every day. I've never had one in my hand before, and previously the best pictures is ever seen were the engravings in the 1811 Smith's Key.

Sweet! Funny about some of these old things. Look at the-edge to-spine. Where the hone contacts the spine.
Razors like this seem to be a 5/8 wedge with a PILE of weight behind it. Am I wrong?
Not that that's a bad thing!
