I picked this razor up several weeks ago and have been meaning to post some pics of it, but I've only just now gotten around to it. I swear, it looks like something Captain Nemo would have shaved with on board the Nautilus.
I've never seen a Myatt quite like this one before. I've got one that's a more usual three-piece that unscrews at the head, but this one comes apart like a Single Ring with an inner barrel. And just like the Single Ring, it's "adjustable" by loosening the or tightening the cap to change the flexion of the blade; however, this Myatt is actually marked with adjustment points on the handle and an arrow on the bottom knob so you'd be able to tell exactly where had it set.
Also, I see that Myatt worked in both silver and silver plate. The look and the feel of it screams silver, and I can't find any brassed spots on it even though it's obviously pretty well worn; however, it's not marked with anything that I would recognize as a proper hallmark, so I assume it's plated. The three pieces are each stamped with single letters that are clearly their own separate marks, though -- "Z" on the guard/handle, "T" on the cap, and what looks to be a "B" on the bottom of the inner barrel.
I've dug through several old threads, particularly this one, but can't find another one just like this one. Does anyone else have one or know of one from somewhere else?
