Thank you for the visit ^^
Would that be the same Boots as the current Boots drug store chain in the UK? If it is, it's hard to believe that at one time they sold such a nice pair of razors.
I have a razor that is from another seller who was located on Cheapside. Must have been a popular area at one time for these kinds of retailers.

Yes it is the same Boots as current drug store chain ;-) They had those razors made by another manufacturer (but who ?!), scales are not real ivory, but reconstituted ivory from powder (so cheaper).
