Joseph Rodgers & Sons - Ivory Rattler +++ More razors

So another of the Gugimiester's razors coming off the bench today...
Didn't quite know what I was going to do with this one, it started as a broken set of Ivory scales and a cracked & loose Ivory Tang..

So I tore it complete down, used some Epoxy to seal and fix the tang, I polished the blade but not too much as we wanted to keep the stamps...
I had this acrylic sitting in the shop for some time waiting for a use, MaseCraft sent it to me to test so I tested it :) on this razor... This has a Ivory look to the inside and a Rattlesnake look to the outside...I uses all brass hardware on this one.. Hope ya like it Ivan !!

Excellent. The colour match with the tang & scales on the Rodgers really works.

I absolutely love those scales on Gugi's Joseph Rodgers. Really warm and organic. Very, very nice!

Ya know what was really weird Oz Man, it was really close, then I took the edges where I had sanded in the chamfer to the buffer, with a soft pad and Plastic polish, and it darkened it just a touch to a near perfect match... I was really surprised and very happy :)

G-Man. Looks like it was made that way. Surprises can be good :D
