S.C. Wragg's Celebrated Razor, Sheffield, ca. 1830-1850

This is a really nice S.C. Wragg from around 1830-1850 I believe. It's a little unusual in that you don't see many of these around...at least I haven't. I do know that he was famous for his Bowie Knives which demand a pretty good price. Do a search here on SRP and you'll find examples of John Wragg and W.H. Wragg but none of Samuel C. Wragg razors.

This razor is a full 7/8, almost 15/16 wedge blade with vintage restored horn scales. Blade face finished in satin and tang and spine finished with a high polish. Just needs to be pinned to finish it up...

Hope you like it...

Doh....I thought you just spelled tons wrong, I was like, what's he mean two tons of steel....looked again, ahhhh.....2 tones of steel, and he's right, it does look awesome! :gaah:

I really like the satin & polished finish also
What grit did you use for the satin finish?
Looking very nice

Can you go wrong with a big smiling Sheffield wedge? Certainly not here, looks great!

I finished it with 800 grit crocus cloth...it really works well to soften the look of the finish. Then I tape it off and polish the tang and spine to a mirror finish. I really like this look on certain shaped blades...I'm glad you like it as well.
