Thread: Fredrick Reynolds Sensation

Here is a Frederick Reynolds Sensation that needed a set of scales
thanks to fellow member Harrywally's generous donation of Birdseye, he's ready for his debut

Nice razor and gorgeous scales, how does it shave?

I havent honed it yet, just finished pinning 10 minutes ago
Sorry the pics kinda suck

That looks sweet Mike!
Love that Birds eye. To think I found that hunk at A&M woods behind the table saw in the scrap bin. Payed a $1 for it.

You did a lovely job on the whole razor Mike and I love the etching on the blade too.

Hard to tell from the photo but the wedge is Whitetail antler with just a bit of bark showing on the top inside edge.
The blade centres nicely although the picture angle would indicate differently.
Pins are brass with small stainless & really small brass stacks.
Thanks for looking
Mike

Nice. I had wondered if antler would work and look good as a wedge, your answer, YES.

I'm not sure its for everybody
Its my third wedge from a small antler.
I like to leave a little or a lot of bark so its apparent what it is
I kinda feel like its out of respect for the buck that gave his life to me
Its also a small reminder of my past adventures when i use it.
Thanks!
Mike

I have a SENSATION without the Frederick Reynolds stamping. It was made for L. C. Thompson, Pottsville PA

There are no other stampings on the tang.

I would like to add that the SENSATION bevel was cleaned up on a Shapton Glass 8k. 4 laps on a Frictionite 00 and 20 laps on the Gokumyo 20k. A proper stropping and a great shave.
