Hi Jen,
Check out the information Kathy Deagan has for razors in her second artifact
book (Portable Personal Possessions; pages 234-235). Deagan mentions
recovering razors on New World Spanish sites she has worked on starting with
Puerto Real, Haiti (middle of the sixteenth century) and gives a reference
for British colonial examples from eighteenth century Fort
Michilimackinack.
