At a loss for words, as-usual. It has all been said! :tu
Really nice work.
Beautiful restoration work, from what I've found John Bagshaw was a retailer in Liverpool. The razors he sold were likely to have been made in my home city of Sheffield.
That is a stunning blade and the restoration is beautiful.
Really great job!
Superb restore Tuzi. Well done!!
Thanks for the kind feedback, gents! :beer1: It really means a lot, especially coming from aficionados such as yourselves.
I had a shave with it today and it performed perfectly. Such a joy to shave with one that's been brought back into service, especially the first shave where you know it's been many years since the last time it was able to be used.
Beautiful glaze finish.
I've found a receipt online from 1837, photo below (not for razors though), also references to the firm in the 1920's and 30's.
The items sold were wide ranging from Razors of course, clocks, tea caddies, sewing boxes, silver ware.
I have a nice Bagshaw with a nice tang and spine.
