Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett Co.
Pretty stoked.
I found (and ordered) a crazy cool razor on eBay.
I was looking for this specific maker, shape and grind.
Got it for something like $9.50, plus shipping, because they misspelled the name and didn’t really know what they had.
Anyhoo...I purchased this back in late October of 2020. (If memory serves me correctly).
It got lost in transit, and me and the seller were both tracking it daily.
Nothing. It was a total loss.
So the seller got her money back, and I was refunded my money.
So yesterday, almost 4 months later, it suddenly appeared in the mail.
Awesome!
I’m not gonna put a lot of effort into it and make custom scales, as I have decided to sell all my straight razors under 7/8” of an inch.
I’ll keep a WH Morley that I have, and POSSIBLY this one...if I really like it.
This one is 6/8” wide, and the blade shape is very attractive.
I have an extra set of black horn scales (with an “ace of spades” pearl logo on it) which I will clothe it with.
Excited about my freebie.

It's just Sharpening, right?

The "Ace of Spades" scale is for a Herder but if it fits, why not.
If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.
