Thread: S.R. Droescher Near Wedge

This is my first French razor. It is a 5/8 S.R. Droescher near wedge. Stamped SRD France on one side and 42 Severin Paris on the other. Horn scales with bone wedge. There is some bug bites to the scales and some scratches on the blade. It has only been honed on a 1k so far and is waiting to be finished so I can test it out. If only my beard would grow faster. The bevel and hone wear isn't the prettiest, but I didn't want to add anymore hone wear trying to even it out. That is the least of my worries as long as the razor shaves like it is supposed to. After reading some posts about SRD I thought they were all made in Germany. The razor feels heavy for its size, but feels nice in the hand. I didn't have to do much to it except clean some dirt off of it. I thought this razor was interesting since all SRD razors I saw were made in Germany.
