Joseph Rodgers & Sons Blade Restore

**fonthunter** · 11-13-2010, 10:26 AM

I got recently a rusty old Joseph Rodgers & Sons blade. It was in such a state:

After restore, of the blade (with help - regrind - Mr. Flaschner, only hungarian straightrazormaker):

I would like to change the scale later...

I hate seeing a vintage razor go to waste. Great save, hope you enjoy it.

Beautiful job. Your hard work paid off.

Bevel looks very even, sign of a great regrind.

As I was looking at the first few pictures, I was thinking "Uh oh..." and "oh man". By the end of the pictures my tune had changed to "wow, that came out really nice" .

A nice save. Hope it shaves well.

congrats, I think it will work very well.

That's a very good job on the blade. As you, I also would like to change the scales. I think some bigger scales would go very good with that big blade. Maybe some ebony scales... Just thoughts. Thanks for sharing.

As Baldy mentioned, thanks for bringing that old steel back to life. Job well done.

Good work, especially on the bevel setting. It is perfect! How did you get it so even on a near wedge?

Thanks my Friends!

My friend, Kalman (Flaschner) is the best grinder in Hungary and his old machines are the best also. He made the grinding.
