    Nice find! Really like the blade shape and the way they did the heel/tang.

    I had read those threads and seen Zak's contributions to AF, and agree with his reassessment of the dating. The collars are particularly nice, and that taper from 7/8 to 3/4 actually does seem to reflect the general shape of the much older stub tails. It was a lucky find from a dealer who I had bought a 1790's razor from before. That previous find cost me $6.50, so I go straight to this fellow every time.

    I particularly like that shape of blade and toe, so I was thrilled to find it. I will have time to hone it today and shave with it tomorrow.
