So DwarvenChef and I got together today and I took him to my secret stash antique stores and we both picked up some great razors....see what you miss when you miss a CenCal meeting! At any rate, I've sure he'll post to the thread with his finds, but as for me, I got this interesting piece. I can't, however, date this guy since it has some weird features...

1. it's never been honed until today! It's never had anything other than some metal polish on it...no grinders.

2. It's been used as it had some active rust in the pivot, but has never been honed.

3. Tang and scales look like the 1870's, monkey tail appears to be transitions from the shorties to the long...so maybe 1850's, the grind appears to be 1840's.....very strange razor.

4. There is no country or city stamped on the razor, but duh it's a Sheffield.

If you guys want to venture a guess on the age of this guy, be my guest.





It's a great little shaver...finally, a wedge I can get excited about!
