Has anyone ever seen a 3/8" Joseph Rodgers & Sons before?

I'll take pics once my camera charges. It's a neat little razor. As those of you with JR&S razors know, they have a LOT of text on the tang... this razor has the smallest font I've ever seen on a razor.

"*+ Joseph Rodgers & Sons Cutlers to their magesties No.6 Norfolk Street Sheffield England"

All on a less than 1" by 1/4" tang. It's quite cute.

Here's the pics. Isn't she just adorable?

looks like it could hide completely in the scales

If the spine didn't rest on top of them it could.

looks like a hair cutting razor

Good call, that's probably just what it is.

Adorable

I second the notion on a hair-cutting razor.
If one whaves with it, it probably just glides under the lather
But it should be able to get a mean edge, JR&S are real high quality!

It’s either a tired 4/8” or even a tired 5/8” or it’s a good 3/8” used to shave neck hair after a hair cut.

Whatever, it is was not made like that to shave the face.

But great for your collection.
