For sale is a very rare antique William Revitt straight razor with silver and mother of pearl inlay and dual notches on the tang. Revitt was known for producing high end razors and cutlery geared towards the aristocracy. Produced between 1825-1860.
\"William Revitt was an early- to mid-19th-century Sheffield cutler and razor maker, closely associated with Stannington and the VIRGIL trademark. His surviving razors are scarce but historically important examples of the period when Sheffield’s independent edge-tool makers combined razor manufacture with a wider cutlery and strop trade.\"
Tang is marked \"William Revitt - Patent Temper\"
The razor shaves very nice and smooth and has a unique feel in the hand with the thumb and index finger notches on the tang.
Fully honed in proper progression with the edge inspected under magnification at each stage. Finished on a light yellow-green Escher/thuringian hone.
