Georgian Palmer trio
Zak helped out in the acquisition of 3 very special razors I got recently. His half of the spoils is here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/show-...le-friend.html
The three that I got looked like buffed up normal Georgian razors. However, once I got them in the mail, surprise! The photo below is in comparison to a 7/8+ Wade & Butcher. These things are MASSIVE. They measure over 7/8 in width but the cutting edge alone is over 3.5". The tails are 1.5" long.
They may date to the reign of George III (pre-1820). As discussed in more detail in Zak's thread, George Palmer operated out of St. James' Street in London. And the level of polish is exquisite.
Included also was a third wheel, not quite matching, with St. James stamped on the tang as well:
