This is an extremely old collectable near wedge vintage straight razor from Joseph Elliot in gorgeous condition.
This is history right there. This razor is from around the early 1800's as Joseph Elliot was active between 1821-1854.
The razor has professionally been restoRed and re-scaled with a total re-grind, preserving the original near wedge grind. I would say all blemishes are gone and the razor looks amazing for its age. Picture don't even do it even justice.
Custom scales are Ruby Red with a tapered G10 Jade Ghost wedge. This is a higher grade acrylic with superb optical clarity, excellent resisting to natural aging and heat resistance.
