Here's one I dug out that I've had for a few years. I don't know if i ever showed it but if not, here it is. I had to get my loupe to see if it has been honed and it looks like it has maybe once because there are some very slight marks on it. Other than that, it's in excellent shape. It says Silver Steel Warranted on it and appears to be from the Queen Victoria era, anywhere from 1837-1901
Nice, Steve. Doesn't look like any hone wear and the scales look brand new.
Mark, yes it does. It's in very good shape. I had to use my loupe to see very, very little hone wear but it almost appears as none on it. The scales are in excellent shape.
That is a nice razor that looks practically new. Thanks for sharing.
I never even touched up the writing on the scales. They do have some very minor bug bites along the edge on one side.

That razor is a "Keeper" :)
Looks great! I have a few I want to add gold paint (or rub n buff?) too eventually. I like seeing old scales revived.
That’s a great looking razor Steve.
Thanks ShaunQuote:

Id just shave with it. Nothing wrong with a little roughness from age.
Looks like something has been done to the polish of the blade as the tang has a different sheen. Regrind?
Nothing like a good wedge, silent and deadly to whiskers.
What's it pushing, Steve. 7/8ths..?
I bet that is a good guess on the size.
It has verticle grind on the tang and is more of a satin finish. The blade is more of a crocus finish.I believe it's all original.Quote:
