1780s baeuty
havnt seen you guys in awhile! hello everyone! well, formality and pleasantries dispensed with, heres the old beauty:
scienceguy was kind enough to dig up info on this gem. i had to have it when i saw it but i knew nothing of the maker and it would have driven me crazy not knowing so many thanks to you!

That is one horrible looking razor, but I will take it off your hands for you so you won't be troubled by it. Very nice.

Wow! That's about as close to NOS as you get on a razor rolling up on 250 years.
It pretty much just needs new scales and some time on the stones.
You absolutely have to post pics when the restore is done.gooser likes this.May your lather be moist and slick, the sweep of your razor sure, and your edge always keen!

I was wrong but close. This is the one I'm thinking of because it only has a letter or two but it is partial. Originally Posted by engine46
