This razor was part of an antique store find by another SR shaver. He contacted me and asked if I was interested in acquiring some old razors in need of help or restoration. I jumped at the opportunity to acquire this lovely old shaver.

Thank you Larry. I wish I had razors like this one to share with all of you. I'll let you know if I see one for sale.This one presses all the right buttons. Just a beautiful razor.
Could we get a shot of the blade? It looks like quite an unusual combo. I've seen and photographed razors with similar scales from the 18th century, which are on display in the V&A museum in London. Mod Emeritus Mdunn has one very similar as well. But of course they are so old they have a stubby tail, and no sort of hollow grind, which that blade seems to have.

It would be interesting to try and work out how and when this razor was put together, because the bullseye pin look nice and well done.
