Roberts Warranted Stub Tail - Rebuild

I just finished this one up in a Honey streaked horn basically what it was built with in the first place... I made new domed washers for it using the exact same technique they did 200 years ago when they built it originally, but I had to reverse the build.. They used steel outer washers brass inner liners and Brass rod and I had to use Silver rod, Brass outer washers and a SS washer under them for support...
I polished the blade to clean it up, but Brian asked that I leave the age marks intact just clean it and shine it...

If you look very very closely at the before pic you can just make out a tiny crack dead center at the toe of the razor... It is gone now :)

To the camera guys out there, I need some help, the new pics have this line that just started to appeared in all my shots now, it is not in there if I switch to Video mode but is there in either Auto or Manual setting.. It shows up in the pre-view screen too.. Any ideas please PM me... TYIA

Looks great. I love the fact that you really tried to keep it as original as possible.

Really nice job on keeping it true to it's original self. :tu

Was the wedge on the original one made of a white material?

That horn material is great on 180- 200 yr old razor. The owner will be happy G-Man.

I like the look of it, including the age marks. I think they're an appropriate part of the razors history. It's ok to have a few marks when you get old..... :)

Sweet looking combo G brother! That Honey horn turned out real nice.
It's ready to be used for another 200 years.

Great work,
That horns and the shape work great with the blade.

Glen, Camera a Cannon?

Very Sweet! I'm really drawn to pre-1830's razors now and you absolutely did this one justice.

Great looking razor! Yep, I like horn...

Good job on the blade Glen... I'm sure it was one big pit after all of these years. Scales fit in nice. How long is the razor? I know those blades are pretty long themselves.

she's a beaut! Excellent job as always.
very classy!

Great work as always Glen. I really like the horn scales, they are beautiful.

Everything from getting rid of the blade crack while keeping blade look right, to the period scales, it makes me feel good looking at this razor.

Thanks, Glen.

I'm looking forward to the test drive.

How'd it shave?
