PLEASE NOTE -

 

This razor is shave-ready and is, therefore, literally RAZOR-SHARP. This means that the edge will cut at a touch. IT IS NOT A TOY.  Although perfectly suitable for inclusion in a collection, it is primarily intended to be used for the purpose it was made - facial shaving. This razor has been honed and stropped by myself to this stage and I must again stress that, if you do not know how to handle this type of razor, it should be treated with the respect shown to any very sharp knife or instrument. If, of course, you are familiar with straight razor shaving then I do hope you will appreciate this piece.

This straight razor was made by the renowned Sheffield firm Of Needham, Veall and Tyzack under the ‘Taylor’s Eye-Witness’ brand. Thought to made C. 1920 –1930, specifications are as follows:

 

The blade is an 11/16 round point, fully hollow ground to about Henckel scale 8 and has a slight sweep to its length. Cosmetically the blade has only some very superficial marking to betray its age and is highly polished. The front side is engraved with the words ‘The S. B. B. Razor’. Hone wear is evident and a little heavier at the nose. The edge is just over 2.75” long and is shave-ready.

 

The tang is jimped above and below for grip, being struck to the front (though a little faint) with the words ‘Taylor Sheffield’ and the ‘Eye-Witness’ logo.

 

The scales are of black composite with bevelled edges and in excellent condition. Three pins are used with a white spacer and blade action is good with no closure fouling.

 

The razor will be supplied shave-ready in a new black plastic razor box.

 

An ideal first razor, this Taylor eye-witness is light and easily handled with a first-class blade as would be expected from this maker.
