Thread: Cleaned up a Joseph Rodgers Razor.

Picked up this Joseph Rodgers Razor, intrigued by the scalloped spine which I haven't seen too often on a JR.
The blade had staining which I knew could clean up, and the horn scales were de-laminating a bit'





I unpinned the razor and gave it a good clean up. I broke the toe off one of the scales which I glued and filled. The scales had a built in wedge, which I glued again once the razor was repinned, so that part should hold.




The scales were cleaned, sanded, and polished as best as they could be considering the original condition. I didn't want them thinned out too much.





The original faux turtle look finish was nothing more than paint on the inside of the scales.

I may redo the scales once I learn how to reuse the escutcheon plate on the side.
