    Sweet old razor.

    Kudos to all involved with making a user again.

    Good on ya for NOT mirror polishing, adding tail lights, and running boards etc etc.

    Very nice, a razor from the 1700's is exciting, that's really going back, I've been gazing at a few myself...great addition to your collection without question.

    Just amazing. Thinking about the lives that razor has lived through is mind boggling. Enjoy it!

    ive been thinking about that since the razor touched my hands a couple weeks ago !! each side of the scales has numerous marks of names or numbers ( cant make any of them out ) that I would bet are from different times of this razors life , in a more modern razor when I see names in horn or such I scratch my head and ask why even though I know to many it is a tool , but this one I haven't questioned or even thought about why as it adds so much character to it all !!!
