An antique cut throat razor, a vintage cut throat razor and a strop, detailed as follows: A Victorian straight razor (cut-throat razor) by Harrison Bros & Howson, Sheffield, with the blade marked “VR” and “Cutlers to Her Majesty.” The VR (“Victoria Regina”) mark and the cutlers’ title to Queen Victoria confidently date it to the mid to late 19th century when the firm was most active under that royal warrant.​The “notch” design, overall shape, and pinned ebony handle are typical of mid- to late-19th-century Sheffield razors for both surgical and barbering use. The razor comes in it's original case, damaged and repaired with cloth and string and carries a label reading "Mr Ridgeway18-10-73 (year number indistinct) L. Twells (from Harrod's London SW) Ladies' and Gentlemens' Hairdresser 108b Alcaster Rd Moseley". A vintage Sheffield razor in its' original case and appearing to have been never used as it carries the original manufacturers grease coating on the blade, it has a wedge-style hollow-ground blade and a celluloid handle, likely dating from around 1920-1930. A vintage razor strop with a wooden handle and leather surface, used for maintaining the edge on straight (cut-throat) razors. It was a standard tool in doctors' and barbers' kits from the late 19th to mid 20th century.​ The strop shown has a simple, varnished wooden handle with tightly stitched leather on both sides and a shaped leather storage case. This style, often called a “paddle strop,” became popular in the Edwardian and interwar periods (c. 1900–1940s), remaining in use until disposable and safety razors became common.​ Such strops were used by doctors to maintain surgical knives or razors needed for minor procedures or shaving patients, as well as being essential for barbers.​ The strop would be held taut, and the razor drawn along the leather at a shallow angle to realign and polish the edge between honings. Likely of similar vintage to the razor above, 1920-1930.
