Joseph Rogers & Sons

This Joseph Rodgers & Sons 7/8 near wedge is restored to its original brilliant crocus type finish. The tang has both upper and lower jimps which are sometimes referred to as flutting. They greatly aid in the grip of the razor and began to show up in the 1820's. The original broken black horn scales were replaced with honey horn using brass pins and collars and a lead wedge. Some before and in process pictures are included. The in process pictures are off the 400 grit belt and the bevel set on a 1K.

So how does she shave? As if I didn't already know due to past experiences with JR&Sons, some of the best shaving razors I own won't part with......never met a JR&Sons I didn't like!
