This Tillotson razor ( England 1830- 1859) became the piece for me to use a slab of horn I recently posted on Daves (GolFisHunt) thread. The blade was in so-so condition but sanding works wonders as usual. I had to remove a chip in the edge but not much was lost . The bevel is now 16.05 and if I tape it'll be 16.45. A slight bit more at the very tip putting it at 17.20.
The scales mimic the originals in shape. I didn't use the original wedge ( lead) as I didn't like the way the blade sat in the scales. I used my go to .45 cal. bullet to make a new wedge and still keep it lead.
I like this this style of blade as well as the age of it is cool. Now let's see it it shaves as well as others I have in this style.
