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.....

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
Gorgeous piece of Sheffieldness
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

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

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.
