7/8 Joseph Rogers & Sons w/ dyed honey horn scales

7 Attachment(s)

A 7/8+ near wedge Joseph Rogers & Sons straight razor restored to its original glazed type finish. The non original black hard rubber scales were replaced with dyed honey horn scales featuring a lead wedge and brass collars and pins. The scales are flat with a slight bevel around the edges and thinned to .105 thickness. Dyed scales were frequently used by the Sheffield makers to imitate tortoise shell scales. A before and in process picture is included.
