Thread: Mid-1700s long-tail razor

I have seen few razors of that age, but the uniform taper from the widest at peak of the spine to the very thin monkey tail when viewed from above seems unique.

I go out of my way to find razors of similar age, and I've never seen one quite like that either.

i go out of my way to find something pre-1800 and i havnt even saw one in person ..lol...

LOVELY razor !!!

Like Wullie I saw knife but thought maybe when they blew it on the anvil or something they just went on to make a razor. Then again, early on they may have just been more artistic or knife minded.

Very nice piece.

From the evidence so far it looks as though that's the original design. Nice purchase. Very interesting.

As usual, a strong and deeply enjoyable slap in the face after reading one of your threads Scienceguy.

Thanks for sharing
