Thread: Joseph Cam 1830s Stubtail restoration

Took a punt on this one over on eBay my winning bid got me a 1830s Joseph Cam Stubtail for a very reasonable price, it came with original Ivory scales only problem they were cracked, I had another set of Ivory scales off a Mappin & Webb from the same period but in the end I decided to make a set from some blonde horn I had hanging around, went with a horn wedge made from the same materials and brass pins and washers, kept the scales a very close as possible to the original style design and shape, the razor is very near a wedge it was a pretty difficult razor to hone in the end experience won the day and the razor decided to play the game and finally gave up the edge I wanted. PS if anyone has more info on this razor and the maker I would be grateful.
