all are " Pre " 1891 . if its to heavy for you we can always add it to my collection and i will handle the weight issue for you, nudge , nudge , wink , wink.

That's a nice crowd. I got naught but maybe 20.
Measure mine by the pound now, doesn't upset the wife so much. Quit buying a year or so back. Got a 50 day rotation yet end up going back to the same old 3 or 4. 10/8s down to 4/8's Late 18th C stub tails to early 20th C full hollows.

...sure wish I could get some info on the one I have, it's a MONARCH, according to GOIN'S, it was made in 1888-1892, so it would have been my great-grandfathers razor. my grand dad and father both shaved with it, and I actually tried once, but I ran out of band-aids, so I quit!!!.......
