I have a nice Bagshaw with a nice tang and spine.

Thanks for this info, that's fantastic. And wow! what a fine example you have there, beautiful razor!

Thanks for your kind comments, I need to repair that scale near the wedge

Beautiful. Love the blade shape.

Another fine razor restored wonderfully! Great Job!

You nailed it Tuzi, great finish and I love those washers. Beautiful work Sir.

Yep, cool washers and I love to see old razors, like this one, get fixed-up and used again. I just hope they never get too honed, as once the blade is narrow, there is no fixing it! I have a great, old W. Greaves and Sons that is 31/32" wide and is a near-wedge. Keep up the good work. Buy more and fix 'em up!

This white one is also a Bagshaw? What is the size? Really nice looking.

I love these framebacks. I don't own one, but I may go looking for one in the near future.

Good thing there are no framebacks in this thread, eh?

What do you mean?
