Old Straight Razor

[JMcQ]

Got my hands on this old straight razor recently and have been cleaning it up. Does anyone know anything about how to date these?

Probably early 1900's. Needs some attention but looks like it could be brought back to shave condition.

I recently joined badgerandblade.com and there is a straight razor sub forum that I'm sure can help you out.

I use a safety razor, have thought about moving to a straight razor but I am very intimidated by them lol.

Even if you choose not to shave with it, they make decent plug cutters!
