I really enjoy mine. It's "slightly" modified though...lol...I found stropping it difficult due to the longer tang and I like to rescale

They started manufacturing in the late 1800's I believe. I'm sure someone else could give a better estimate on it though. Originally Posted by Midoio

Hard razor to get a good edge on, but fun to shave with once you do.

Cool razor, now that you have the DePews keep an eye peeled on the bay for the similar model by Joseph Rodgers & Sons. I don't know who had it first but they made one that is not exactly the same but also has the long monkey tail. They come up once in a great while.

Yep, how right you are. I understand why you see a lot of them with a LOT of spine wear... Originally Posted by Wintchase
