Thread: R. Wass Jubilee Razor

Recently acquired, a scarce set by maker R. Wass from Sheffield (another of his here: https://straightrazorpalace.com/show...rge-damer.html). This one is the "Jubilee Razor" and is possibly for George III's Golden Jubilee in 1809. A paper insert is included that has some instructions. Robert Wass had a patent for "certain improvements to razor handles", and this may be what that patent is talking about. The handle is a spring-knife style, and clicks into either position - like the paper says, it really does change the weight at the blade end by changing the balance.









Best of all, there are two of them! Until today at least, one of them is now on the way to another collector.
