    Default 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

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

    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!
