    Default Joseph Rodgerson & Son wedge rescale

    This is a bone custome rescale slightly different shape from the original scales with a bone wedge to match.

    This was my first restoration.
    It was bought with a lot of 8 razors from ebay.
    Now i think i am definately a wedge razor man.

    Youve done a fine job! Very nice. I have been looking for a razor to restore myself but have not had to much luck bidding one on Ebay. I guess when the one comes along thats meant for me I will get it. Again VERY nice job!

    VERY nice restore chimera! The scale materiel seems the perfect fit for the blade, and I'll echo about being in the wedge camp... scritch-free shaving!

    Good job--time to do another!

    Nice work on a beautiful old blade! You got a nice finish on that bone and a very classic look

    Beautiful work, I'm a wedge man myself.
    Did you make the scales yourself from a bone?

    I had a strange old lump of wood that had been paneled all the way around with bone in such a way as to sugest a test piece. and when i took them of it was nice and even thin strips about 3mm thick, the only thing i had to do was trace the shape of the old razor scale and miss all the pining holes and there where quite a few.

    Yes, That is a good job. I always say: "once a wedge man, always a wedge man" ! Of course there are exceptions!
