    Default Joseph Rogers and Sons

    This is my second attempt at a restoration and will not be my last

    Its a 7/8 wedge, Joseph Rodgers & Sons. Circa 1840 I believe.
    Scales are Buffalo horn and Camel bone wedge. Pins & washers are brass and have a micro bolt at the pivot end for easy maintenance.
    Have added a Patina to the blade just to be different but not sure if I like it or not so may polish it back out



    Thanks for looking.

    Andy.

    You did a nice clean job on your razor. I have always liked the "tuxedo" selection as it clearly compliments scales and blade.
    The patina work is an interesting highlight.

    I love it personally. Makes me think of the Damascus steel blades. Either way, keep it or polish it back, you did a great job!

    Fine work & thanks for sharing the photo.
    It's a great thing to see an old razor brought back to life, to shave another 100 years.

    Very fine work. I also like the choice of Black and White, very complimentary to the blade.
    Well done.
