Mappin & Webb alert.

These pair of beauties came my way today via a good friend and a Man of his word, thank you very much, James. A few weeks previously these came in for honing they had never been touched absolutely mint, well the story goes once I posted the razors back I asked the owner should he ever think of moving these on could he please give me first refusal, well I'm now the very proud owner of these wonderful looking razors.

beautiful. That era was in my point the golden age of vintage razor making in sheffield. Those were the days that craftsmen still made pieces that could be considered art.
From lat 1880 and 1900 onwards, it became a much more industrial process that was no doubt more efficient, but those razors are as exciting as toothbrushes imo.
