Thanked: 1184Just a new guy observation here >>. But having started to look at these older razors they seem to have larger pins and washers the older the claim. Nothing really fancy and considerably different shapes. I noticed the spine on this one looks wider at the toe and the blade seems to match that in height. Some I have seen also look wider below the spine. Nice piece of history no matter what it turns out to be. Great find in my humble opinion. I think one of the reasons I have become interested is that I am thinking of trying to hammer out some of my own someday soon. These older blades have a style that matches the manufacturing processes of the day. I just love them.
Side note: I switched from looking at DD's and even bid on a Gratian yesterday. I thought for sure I would get it for what I bid above the highest. Can't join this club yet but not because I ain't tryin' and watching. Hope to learn more about these oldest of razors.Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
