Restored Joseph Rodgers & Sons
I had told you about the sheffield my grandparent gave me...

Now it's finished, I managed to remove all rust, it still has some very light pitting in some places, but I'm happy with the result. Sent it for honing and it came in the mail yesterday, so this night I'll shave with it, but it looks like a fantastic shaver.
The scales are ivory, not horn as I though at first. I don't like ivory, and was tempted to order some new scales, but finally I decided to keep the razor as my grandpa used it. Showed it to him yesterday, and he couldn't believe it was the same blade.
Thanks for all the tips you gave me in the original thread, thanks to your help I can shave with my grandfathers heirloom
