I've got a lot more to say about the razor and Gog and Magog soon, but I'm on the last day of painting. This has been eating my days entirely!
However, I am fairly confident this razor is not a guild piece or masterwork. The craftsmanship is good, but not extraordinary -- I have numerous production razors from Sheffield with finer fit & finish (even if they're not 1/10th as well-preserved!) It was used. There's a little bit of rust in the pivot.
This razor was made well into George Palmer's career, and I have some reason to think that it was made in Sheffield, not London.
I'll get to all that tomorrow once the painting is done.-Zak Jarvis. Writer. Artist. Bon vivant.
