My most recent shaving related purchase was a razor called "the celebrated anglo Saxon concave Razor" (photo attached) made by wade and butcher
I have a few questions about it if anybody knows anything of this model
1. Does anybody have general information (years of manufacture, advertisements from the time)
2. I am a newbie but this shaves far better than my old straight razor, can anybody speculate on why aside from sharpness?
And 3. Is the anglo Saxon razor just a name or was it falling into the 19th century trend of studying cranial and facial structure on different ethnic groups? If the latter, are there other such razors? Perhaps a Prussian or Westphalian razor from Germany?
Thanks!
