Who's shaving with the oldest razor?

Those old razors are terrible. They remove hair more like an epilady, they tear it out You guys should get rid of them immediately. Its much more fashionable to shave with a Fusion anyway. If you want to throw them out, I will take them to make sure they are disposed of properly.Lol
I love this thread. Always wanted an old skool razor.

That looks like the ones I saw in the V&A museum in London!
Any news reports of burglary at the v&a are unrelated to the contents of this thread 
That pic of yours was the reason I snuffled this one up! It's in crazy nice condition for a ~300 year old pice of steel, silver and tortoise

Dare I ask.. Where did you yoink that from?
I stole it from some poor schmuck selling it on ebay... it didnt go cheap, but I was sure it was going to go for much, much more.
Noice. I'm sure I can work out some way you owe me a beer for this find.

That is gorgeous. Who's the maker?
Makes my old Packwood look like junk. LOL
Cherrs mate! I like yours!!
As for the maker, I'm not sure! The stamp says la oor, but it looks like it may have been stamped poorly and some is lost? So it might be ????la ????oor? Anyone have any ideas?
Mike, where are you, you know all these old makers?!
Greybeard, this one is a challenge for you!!
My Greaves and Sons Warranted and my Greaves and Sons American Razor. Both are wedges and heavy. Warrented is c.1820's and the American Razor is c.1820's-1850's.
My brother just sent me pictures last night of that exact same Sheaf-Works razor...his only straight. It belonged to his grandfather. The only difference is that the W. Greaves & Sons is no longer visible and the blade appears closer to a 4/8 or 5/8 than yours (due to use and honing, I assume).
The bottom Greaves is a 6/8 I am sure they made them in different sizes but it could be due to honing too.
Just picked this one up from ebay.fr
Don't know a jot about it. My google fu is not strong this morning.
