15/16 1872 Hibbard Spencer Bartlett & Co. MOP Straight Razor Shave ready

15/16 1872 Hibbard Spencer Bartlett & Co. MOP mother of pearl Straight Razor Shave ready



This is a very unique piece. Based on the tang information the blade is circa 1872-1882.
You see a couple "rattlers" out there but they are usually around 5/8" of steel left. This one is almost a full 1" wide (15/16) with a beefy spine. I very cool one of a kind chopper blade. The original scales were badly abused so these are handmade Mother of Pearl (look) scales with white inlays. The spacer is made of ram horn. Everything about this razor is extra ordinary.

The 2 noteworthy defects. 1: the pivot hole on the tang was wider than what is standard today so if you pull on the blade towards you you can feel a slight amount of play. The scales are very secure and tight so you probably won't even notice this but..it's worth mentioning.
2. There is a hairline fracture near the heel of the razor. I almost didn't even see it until I was examining the photos. There's really no risk of spreading or getting worse. It won't effect anything. That is a solid hunk of steel. All things considered it's just a piece of character you'd expect from a 157 year old razor .

The edge is very sharp. I shave tested it and it shaved well.




Honed In progression From 1k through 12k and Stropped On a treated fire hose Linen strop and then a leather horsehide strop.

Only ONE available. No I won't hold it and no I won't be getting more.
A razor like this won't come around twice. Great investment.
