I'm glad Zak (Voidmonster) posted. To the original poster, Zak probably is the most knowledgeable man on this forum as to the stub tail razors. Certainly has one of the coolest collections. I can tell you this from my personal experience, that is probably going to be a great shaver if you were to have it honed up by a pro. I have a couple of late 1700s razors that I shave with occasionally, and it is a real kick to shave with something that old ...... and get a BBS shave !
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Love the color in the scales. Is it horn though?

Yup. They're dyed horn. Looks to be in real good shape, too! Originally Posted by hoglahoo

Zak has far more accumulated knowledge of the period than I do though... Originally Posted by Voidmonster

One of these days I'll get mine cleaned up, and the scales repaired.
Just so much on the stove now.Mike

The old stub tails are interesting pieces and the steel usually hones up nice. The cast steel versions can be difficult to hone “proper”. IMHO the rounded shank found on many stub tails makes for a difficult grip on the razor, good luck if you try ATG shave. Having said that, it is what it is and YMMV…
