    Default Monogrammed English Razor in Ivory

    Here's yet another. In from England, the best I can make out on the tang is "Pupley 114 Boro", but I'm not sure. Haven't gotten much chance to really research this one. The scales are near perfect ivory with a monogram, and the blade is unusual in that the tang is recessed in relation to the blade. I've seen a couple of these but this is the first that I've owned.

    Interesting razor the transition from shank to blade is quite unusual.

    I've got a Torrey with a recessed tang like that. Took some getting used to. Funny thing is that it has jimps on top but not underneath. Beautiful piece you have there.

    This has jimps but I can't remember offhand if they're on the top as well. It's interesting in that it's only recessed right behind the blade. The tang widens back out after about a cm (there's some hone wear / scratching on that part so looks like someone was a little careless).

    In the second picture it looks like they are on the bottom.

    Here are couple of photos of my recessed tang Torrey. The only razor I've had with as pronounced a recess, IIRC.
    That is a shape 75 Castello Lovat with a 4" shank with the Torrey. One of my favorite pipes.

    Here's one I remembered coming across but just found again. A Taylor with the same type of recessed tang:
