6/8+ Joseph Rodgers & sons in Horn Acrylic

Amazing company history here over 300 years of making Sheffield razors 1682-1990 is what I am showing in my books

This one has some engraving on the blade that says Dutch Hollow Ground
Minor pitting and some small rust spots..

I used greaseless compounds but had to back it down a touch to save the stamp...
Tony asked for something a little wilder in the design of the scales I hope you like these...
All brass hardware including the center pin and concho.....

Fantastic! That is really something special...

Gorgeous scales, an amazing blade...

Mr Rodgers sure doesn't look like the same razor I picked up a few weeks ago at a flea market. I've got to admit I was a little dubious about the acrylic horn scales at first, but they really set this razor off. Great job as always!

All class young G
Nice save:tu
Gorgeous piece of Sheffieldness :D

i love those scales.
Very nice piece of work there.

Very nicely done Glen with an attractive finished work. The before pics really add to the perspective of the work performed.

wow, wow & wow

That is a stunner !

Love the center pin. It really accents the whole look of pure class.

OUTSTANDING workmanship :beer1:

:roflmao:roflmao:roflmao The funny part was that I asked him "Is there something you have in mind"????
"No Glen, Just have fun" I love that response.... :)

In my sleep deprived state this morning, I failed to mention that I really like the way the scales play off the french point. You're a genius G.

Fantastic work as always Glen. I will add that your scales have forever been very good, but lately it seems like you've taken it to another level.:rock:

I thank you Coach but it just isn't me, the level of work across the board seems to have risen a notch, I think part of it is some of us pushing each other along, but also there are more and more new guys getting started, which they introduce new ideas into the mix whether they mean to or not :)

Very nice. I love the stage you've taken the blade to. It still gives a hint at it's many years, rather than wiping out all the history.

Thanks Ben, although to be honest the dark spots that are showing in the pics are from the macro lens, and you would have to look rather closely at the blade in person to see the actual age.... But it is still there..

:fim:
Well in that case, disregard my previous post.
What a fantastic shiny job you've done there Glen! You can barely see that it's not brand new!
I Still love it.

Very nice detail work Glen. Excellent job as always:-)

I love it. I really appreciate the fact you preserved the engraving. It preserves the value of the blade in my mind.
Great Scales, and the center pin is really cool!

Very nice Glen. I love those scales and you can't go wrong with a Sheffield blade.

ooooh, very classy Glen.

Mr Rodgers arrived in today's post. He looks great in the pics, but he is amazing in person. Thanks Glen!

Now that is elegant, what a piece. I am lost for words on this one. Great job.
