Dating a ABC Razor and interesting facts

[Hecklor Koch]

So I picked up a ABC razor set in the wild. Interesting thing is it was owned by a Horace J Stevens. I googled the name and this guy wrote books and was a leading expert on copper. SN looks like A or a 4861384

Congrats, that one is absolutely gorgeous!!! I vote for an A and not a 4 -- that would put it as 1909. I saw the picture of Horace, judging from his intense beard, I'd say that razor got very little use ! Well done, sir....well done!!!

lol I was thinking the same thing about Horace. Funny you aid that

Pretty awesome to learn the identity of the original owner from about 100 years ago.

Beautiful razor.

That is what is some interesting to me. There is even a couple pictures because he made a name for himself.

Actually I didn’t know anything about these razors. Noscrubs and I were talking about them and I found one in the wild. Funny how life works sometimes. I am actually very impressed with the quality shave. I used my newly purchased Darby blades in this and it shaved like a dream. I have my my rotation fatboy, slim adjustable, Parker slant, and now this.
