My second Joseph Rodgers
Some days ago I bought this straight Razor on eBay (Buy it now option):
Scales were from a Wade & Butcher, I suppose, and broken. Blade was very rusty, as you can see:
After some handmade work, yesterday I finished the restore (it could be better, I know):
Could someone help me in dating this razor?
Note: My first Joseph Rodgers was this one
I hope you like it.
Thanks for watching!

T.,
Beautiful find and an even better restore on her . Congratulations. Looking forward to seeing her debut on SOTD
As for the date, I would somewhere 1850-1880 or so. Just a guess. They are wonderful shavers

Blimey that is a sweet job you've done!
Joseph Rodgers & Sons have got to be my favorites of the vintage razors.
I like the 2 toned pin/spacer combo.
What are the scales? Horn? Where did you get the material?
