Thread: 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.

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.

The scales look very nice, great work, the patina work im not so sure about but thats your choice either way.

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.

I like the Patina.... its very unique and different. The scales are beautiful too... very sleek and elegant. Nice work!
