    Default An oldie!

    Hey guys just wanted to show off a nice old girl I have! It is what I believe to be a George Johnson or Wosty, It is dated any where from the 1780s to the early 1810s. What do yall think about her? I have some info from a Razor guide but several sources have told me the info in that book is not too reliable. What yall think?
    My razor is pictured at the top with the red background.

    Wow that's a nice collectors item right there. It's in pretty amazing shape as well, considering the age.
