M. George & Son
I posted this Sheffield yesterday in the Razor Forums looking for information on the maker. Still looking on this end too. Today I got it all cleaned up and ready for the hone. The bone scales are very thin at .075 at the thickest and at .050 at the thinnest at the wedge end. One side is even thicker than the other and warped at the wedge leaving gaps. The original lead was corroded and in pretty rough shape because it was loose and would spin free in the scales. In replacing the wedge I had to resort to the bumping the lead trick to fill in the gaps. It came out rather well. The corrosion at the pivot was so bad I could not open the razor all the way for fear of braking the scales. Most of the heavy pits are hidden by the scales. Adding washers really smoothed things up. I did nothing more to the scales than clean and wax. I did not want to lose any of the nice old patina. All in all a fun project.

Beautiful work karlej
The bone scales are a classic. And that razor is wickedly cool.
Love, love, love that notch on the nose.

Agree with all of the above, beautiful job. One big reason to like this site is fairly regularly seeing new (to me) razors. On this one, the striking difference between other razors I have seen is what Tarkus pointed out: the notch. First time for me seeing a notch like that and agree with Darl......very cool!
