Thread: some handsome new restores - Reynolds/Gloucester/Butcher

this first razor is my favourite of this selection.
Fredrick Reynolds in genuine tortoise shell.





Fletcher Gloucester hollow ground in streaked horn. a fine shaver.





Wade & Butcher "the clean shaver" wedge in red pearl kirinite.

I think they look great! Nice work! Sure that is tortoise? What about the collars?

Lookin good!

I like the Fletcher. Looks like a great shaver.

Well done.

Tell me about the washers/collars on the F. Rreynolds if you would

I would believe the Reynolds has dyed horn scales. Still a very nice restore of them! I like the translucency they have.

The collars are nickel bullseye washers that I polished up. I'm quite pleased with them.
The razor originally had brass domed collars that I was unable to save.

I must be mistaken. Either way I'm pretty jazzed about them, really gives it a look that I enjoy.
