If I can get my Joseph Rodgers to look half as good as yours, I'll be happy.

Do you have a picture of yours to share?

I received notification yesterday that it's at my Post Office, so will collect this afternoon.

That looks like it will clean up well! What is your plan for cleaning it up?

Haven't really given it much thought.
Would like to unpin it and do a proper refurb of the blade.
But will have to wait until it's in my hands to have a proper look.

It looks like it will need to be unpinned to really get it back into shape. Are those scales horn or synthetic?

I collected it earlier and the scales are synthetic as far as I can tell.
Apart from the Patina, blade is in good condition and centres nicely in the scales.

Joseph Rodgers are fantastic shavers. I've got a sevenday set in ivory and absolutely love those razors.

I ordered some honey coloured horn for the scales as well as some bone for the wedge.

Should arrive within a month or so.
