I restored this old Sheffield razor. I had to make new scales, they broke, when I tried to polish them.
The new ones are made of Walnut.
The stamp on the blade says John ...cahn Sheffield. Can anybody share and light of this razor?
I still have to test shave it. I'm doing that tomorrow :-) Merry Christmas!
Very nice! It looks as though it is all dressed up now! Nice work! Love the shape of the scales!!

Very nice shape indeed and well done on the blade! I do prefer thinner scales and a wedge, though ;)
What a difference! Nice job.
Did you glue the spacer in?
Wow-Nice save on the blade, and an interesting scale design.
What a difference, nice restore!
That is quite the transformation. Nice effort.......
WOWWW, nice resto.
Magnific scales!!!
:chapeau
Yes I glued the spacer in. It was difficult it find glue that could handle the job, but at least I succeeded with some 3M superglue...
And I should say that the shave was magnificent! Happy new year :-)
Sweet! I love the scales, what type of wood or material! Did you use stain? Great job all around.

Nice work! Can we see a close up picture of the tang where the name is showing, might really help in identifying your razor manufacturer.
This is the Best I could do. The stamp was almost gone.
Nice work, thanks for showing
