Thread: 6/8 Barber notch wedge JosephElliot in abalone

The is a 6/8 JosephElliot's Best Silver steel barber notch wedge with a thumb notch tang and abalone scales. The blade was in decent condition but had some light pitting and a lot of staining. The blade got a sanding from 400 to 12000 grit paper and then 4 compounds to bring it to a mirror finish. The blade has no hone ware. I don't believe it has ever see a hone.


The scales are abalone. Beautiful looking, much better in person. The photos do not capture the full depth of the shell. The pins are 1/16 brass rod with brass over stainless washers. The blade has brass thrust bearings.


I still need to hone it up but I have had a few JosephElliot razors and they have all been super shavers. This one will be going into my collection. I will have to find another to sell.
