#18 – Straight Razor. PISA. extremely rare 18thC, 1700’s razor having a beautiful select horn handle with squared ends and fancy pin covers. This Handle material is the rarest that you will find on an early Razor. I have witnessed five, including the folding straight razor carried by the Duke of Marlborough. All five that I have encountered over the past 50 years, I kept. You will search for many years and most likely will never find one. I do not know why this "select horn" is so rare. It must have been extremely hard to find this kind of grain on a single horn.
