Old Stubtail Regrind & Rescale
I stopped collecting awhile ago and don't often come across razors that I want to keep in my personal collection. However, I do have a soft spot for really old Sheffields and when this rusted, broken down old stubtail came in a lot I bought I couldn't wait to bring it back to life and put it into rotation.
This 11/16 James Hall received a regrind to remove most the pitting while still keeping the grind a wedge/near-wedge.
The scales were also kept close to the original shape with a fresh set of buffalo horn utilizing the original lead wedge.
All in all, I'm really happy how this turned out. Thanks for looking!

Congratulations, it looks great.
In fact I see a bit of a smile on it!May your lather be moist and slick, the sweep of your razor sure, and your edge always keen!
