Old Razor
I just got this in the mail from a former co-workers husband who gave this to me after hearing that I was interested in straight razors. It is smaller than my others, 4.875" long closed. Bone scales, lead spacer, wedge blade with very slight hollow grind. The name Shepherd stamped on the tang. I'm guessing 1810's to 1830's? Thoughts on the age? Also wondering about the size, was this a travel size or did the size vary more in these really old razors?
There is no such thing a too much horsepower.

It is, especially for being close to 200 years old.
