Nice save on that one.

Outstanding as usual.

How does it shave?

That is an awesome razor. Congrats!

It probably shaves better than a Filly

Stellar job on the razor. I especially like how the red-orange lettering contacts with the blued tang.

Awesome simply awesome work

Personally that particular grind is one that I chase every time I see one

Well, to be honest, Steve, a Filly 14 moved out of my rotation to make room for it!

Thanks, Glen. I agree on the grind. I have a Cattaraugus with the same grind. For some reason, they shave differently than anything else. In a good way . I think George Korn Patent ?

That is what we found, I am not 100% sure that is the whole story worldwide, but it is in the US at least..
I have seen a similar double grind on an older Sheffield, and a couple of German razors too.. I would have to search way back to find the threads..

One fact I am sure of I do like the way they shave hehehe

Nice job on this razor! I have those scales on a Shure edge. Its a great shaver as are almost all my Robesons

I have an American Double Hollow by George Korn (a fantastic shaver). Interestingly it has the two notches ground in the spine like Void's Cataragus but is double stabilized. The grind is very similar but the second grind is hollow (the primary stabilizer stands a bit proud until it reaches the edge). I am not sure if that makes this Robeson grind different or just within the tolerance of the grinder. I have a decent selection of Robesons (6 in shaving shape) 8-9- maybe more total...I can't remember! Tnere is a double hollow etched "Pilot." I have been searching for a "New Science" but haven't found one of the quality that I want.

It surely does have that feature, but it seems the American versions such a Zak's are very pronounced. We all know Korn made razors for lots of makers and supposedly held the patent. Makes me wonder!
Here is my Cattaraugus from an old thread:

Beautiful job, and I don't recall ever seeing that grind before. I've got one Robeson. It is one of those "The Razor That Fits Your Face." Was in good shape and honed up to be a great shaver. Robeson was also connected with the Case family, by marriage or some such IIRC. They also made some very collectible pocket knives.
