I was just at the Alamo looking at the collection from, of all people, Phil Collins. Based on his accent, I'd say he's not Texan, but I guess he grew up with the mythology and collected various weapons and artifacts. Strange experience to have that voice narrating the battle, but this is all a huge digression. I came here just to post a cool razor from the collection. It was apparently from a Mexican general who fought in the Alamo siege and then died bravely in a subsequent battle. His enemies respected him, so there's that.
Anyway, cool razor. If you ask nicely, maybe Phil will let you get it shave ready and give it a spin. Great condition for being made before 1836 (who knows how much earlier). The name on it, Laundy, made surgical equipment in the 1700s and early 1800s, Google tells me, with "surgical" meaning "amputation." Other than that, I don't know anything. The weird unicorn-like logo is pretty great too.
