PLEASE NOTE -

 

This razor is offered for sale purely as a collector’s piece and we do not suggest or imply that it can be used for its original purpose of shaving. This is usually due to the fact that both blade and scales may well be fragile due to the age of the piece or that there may be damage to the blade in the form of nibbles or nicks. Individual pieces may have comments that contradict this statement, but these comments should only be applied to the piece in question, not as a general statement,thanks.

 

Having said that, most of the razors offered for sale within this collector’s section should, with care and skill, be suitable for restoration into a usable piece. They are offered here cleaned, disinfected and in some instances polished, though not honed.

 

If any of these razors contain animal products such as ivory, please ensure it is legal for you to acquire the piece prior to purchase, thanks.If you have any questions about this piece please email us, thanks.

This is a fine piece from a maker who will probably never be known - there is no sign of a name on the ivory tang or the blade! However, this does not detract from the quality of the piece that I would guess was made in Sheffield sometime around 1865.

 

The blade has a very pronounced sweep and also quite a ‘drop’ from the tang. It’s 5/8 round point full-wedge blade (Henckel scale 1) with some hone wear and an edge that’s free of nicks, cracks or any fleabites.

 

The tang is solid ivory (rather than clad sides to the tang) although I am not certain from which source animal. The scales are also ivory, again from which animal I am unsure. They are also very slim in cross-section and show marked patterning. They have no cracks, two pins and a very slim metal scale spacer.

 

A lovely piece for your collection or why not hone it up for ‘high days and holidays’ use!
