I shall call him... Mini-Me! *dun*dun*
Probably the smallest straight razor I have ever seen, it is perfectly proportionate to the typical Sheffield wedge just on a much smaller scale, like 1:3. Marked "Wells, 431 Strand" on the tang and having genuine tortoiseshell scales, I presume it to be a late 1800s production razor.
I did hone it which was actually quite easy to do though I couldn't quite get the bevel set right out to the tip. It was more difficult to strop because it was so light and while shaving I could barely do two small strokes before the blade was just overflowing with lather.
I honestly can't see anyone actually using this razor for a full shave. I have several examples of other travel razors but this one is just on another scale smaller and feels more like a toy to be honest.
