Joseph Rodgers 9/8 'Dutch Rattler'
Finished this a couple of weeks ago. Lovely razor! Made the scales from blonde buffalo horn, wedge from camel bone, and with nickel silver pins.

Oh yes! A real nice job. Thanks for leaving the character and patina alone.
Like it, a LOT!

Very impressive razor and restoration.
Any chance you saved a "before" picture?
And I'm with sharpton on preserving the patina...
Well done!Support Movember!

Dutch Rattler? I might just have found a "grail" razor to hunt for. This one is lovely.
