Hi Folks, May I join? Almost my first straight razor:
She is much as she came to me and slightly cleaned and honed she is a keeper!

If some one would do an outline, It would be even better:

My Greaves and Sons. My best info places the razor between 1820 and 1830. Didn't like the feel at first, it's very heavy but it shaves perfectly now that I'm used to holding it.

That is a lovely blade! For my face that is a shape that fits well without over doing things.
Congratulations!

Hallo, I have just finished restoring this one with no tail. I would like to date it, can somebody help me?
It's a 15/16 at its widest point, almost wedge. On the tang you can clearly read the last three letters only, ERT, it seems to be ERBERT but I'm not certain...
I don't think the scales are original, but they have a handcarved French name on them.

To my eye it looks distinctly related to this razor of Scipio's.

My best guess for age is 'before 1800'

Thanks for the photos. they help a lot! Since there was a huge overlap, beginning and ending dates are taken with a grain of salt. Each style must have had its initiators for a long enough period of time to become popular enough to become a style.

I love those old soldiers. The neatest part, to me, is knowing that they shave great!
