A Morley by Max
A few months ago my folks sent me down a shipment of several razors they won in an auction. I posted about it here and amongst them was a W.H Morley and Sons "Trade Mark". It had the ugliest scales (IMHO) of the lot and I also thought it was the most interesting blade. Maybe it was just the clover logo that I liked.
As a gift to myself I decided to send it out to Max to be rescaled and cleaned up. I asked him to use the G10 black/tan material for the scales because I think it's a wicked compliment to a mirror-finish razor. Here's one of the before pictures I took along with two of the after pictures by Max. Razor will hopefully be delivered by this weekend.
The blade is etched "Trade Mark" with the clover hallmark in the center. I really just hoped to keep the logo after the finish but Max managed to keep the text as well. Many thanks!

I really like the way the scales mirror the shape of the blade on this one. Congratulations!

you are absolutely right, that logo is really cool and that scale material is one of the sharpest looking IMO. I only wonder if a green and tan/cream g10 would look awesome on a clover.....hmmmm...

Very nice! If it takes edge like my Morley, it's a da*n good shaver.
Don't forget the Lucky Clover club!

I have the before picture in the Morley razor club already. Maybe I'll take another picture when the razor comes back to update it.

I thought I was "Da Man"... that's what Glen calls me anyways. Not that I will defend the title in any kind of way. Originally Posted by Joed

Glen, don't feel left out. I just can't think of the right words to justify your most impressive expertise yet.
