RAD ender

I always say as soon as I get a carved ivory and a sterling silver, I am Done! These scales came from Whiting Mfg in N Attleboro, Mass, before being bought out and moved to New York, eventually to Providence. I have had the blade in original shape,for a decade! No more buying and more restoring, See ya ! .......get it on......Tom

Great looking razor. A real one of a kind gem.

Worried a sec you were serious to stop the rad, the nonchalant placement of the spare blade tells me different, lol.

Of course there might be one just as nice, but just a wee bit bigger.

:D This one averages more than 7/8 . Almost 15/16. Any bigger, the blade would run thru! Trust me, I tried!

The real question is: What is the fate of that extra blade?

That blade is a James Barlow and Sons. It has nearly the same eagle on it with American razor in the spine scallops. The reverse side is plain, however, as the Wostenholm pictured has a scalloped spine on the reverse as well. Not nearly as hefty, either. The Barlow is my current "desk razor" as I hand sand on it to relieve stress. Being on hold, etc. I should be done with it in a year or so! Thanks.....get it on.......Tom

I truly feel the same way about it. It transcends our idea of a vintage shaver . I am happy to have found a home for this blade. I shaved with it along while back. I think it is headed for the hones and then home! I mean.... really. Thanks, and....get it on....Tom

One of a kind for sure, very nice.

That can almost be called the pinnacle in beautiful razors. I could seriously understand if you would actually stop buying more razors, you'll never find anything more beautiful than that one. Or maybe an early NOS 7/8 Full Hollow Joseph Rogers & Sons in sterling scales with ivory inlay...

This ones the RAD ENDER?! Really?! Lol!

A real beauty, is it still in your collection?

P.S. I understand completely. Been into SR only a short time and my collection is growing rapidly! Just recently started exploring the restoration side of RAD and I think it's sinking it's claws in deep.

HAR! :roflmao One can only hope, I suppose! I still have it. It was the first of an ongoing 7 day set of silver-scaled razors.
Has taken a long time, but I should wrap that up soon. I think I should be all silvered out by then. :D

Thanks! I have slept since then, but I think off the ebay.
I dig the monograms on these old scales, personally. Part of their history. ;)
