I Couldn't find much info I this razor or company. I did find a post here on SRP the someone said that S. Hecht & Son only made this blade from 1900-1901 but could not verify it.
I was going to keep this in its original shoes but for the first time I broke them while putting them on rather than taking them off.
So here it is in its new kicks. Bleached Camel bone with Black horn wedge.
Nice work. My only complaint is that is a Thanksgiving cactus (Schlumbergera truncata) not ivy (Hedera spp.). :roflmao
Lookin good
Thank you!!! I don't have any Ivy around except for the poison variety and That may not have ended well.:yQuote:

There are three main commercial products in the holiday cactus genus, Thanksgiving cactus (Schlumbergera truncata), Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera bridgesii) and Easter cactus (Schlumbergera russelliana, formerly known as Hatiora gaertneri...although not everyone agrees but whatever. Scientists...:shrug: )Quote:

Oh, by the way, if you hadn't guessed I was an orn hort major in college.
I did when you gave the scientific name... And fully expected this reply :)Quote:

Yea I thought the same. would look dramatic when flowering. That particular plant is actually 4 different color flowering plants in one large pot. will shoot you a pic in PMs if you want so is not to go off topic too much.
The Restore job turned out nice. Your catching the bug. Watch out. Next, you will be stocking up on scale materials.
