Hi, Everyone.
I picked up my first straight razor.

I would be interested in understanding more of what the origin is and the date, if anyone can help me out.
Thanks for looking.
I'm not an expert on these matters but this is a little info:
GEORGE WOSTENHOLM & SON
Successors to George Wostenholm in 1823 ("Old Sheffield Razors" by Lummus. Antiques, December 1922 p.261-267)
Rockingham Works ca. 1694 - 1847
Washington Works, Sheffield ca. 1847 - at least 1991
Straight Razor Manufacturers and Dates of Operation
Are you going to clean it up, get it honed and use it?
that is beautiful...i love the smoking pipe on the tang..sorry if it's not the correct term! can't wait to see that razor sharp, and buffed! good luck!
