Thread: W. Hawcroft & Sons "Renown" Restore Ivory Scales

This is a razor that has been a long time coming in the restoration department for me. A W. Hawcroft & Sons, Sheffield, "Renown" razor. It must have been part of a set because the spine says "Thursday" pretty intricately but faintly. It cleaned up beautifully. It still has the original scales on which are ivory. The front scale had the crack that you see on it though so I took it apart and reinforced them with aluminum liners for whatever that's worth. Original spacer too. Great thumb notch and top and bottom jimps. Really cool razor! We'll see how it shaves once I hone it up. BTW I tried to clean that crack out as much as possible to try to cut down on its visibility, but this is as good as I could get it. Comments/constructive criticisms welcomed!
