    Default G. Johnson in horn (x2)

    -----------------


    This is a freshly restored old str8 razor by G. Johnson, Sheffield.


    Name: P1030157.jpg Views: 356 Size: 107.3 KB

    It is a 5/8", 1/2 Hollow Ground.
    Original horn scales and lead wedge. New nickel silver pins and washers.

    It will look nice, accompanied by his older (around 1830) and bigger (13/16") brother

    Great Johnson's, Mine are really pleasant shavers and heavy enough to do the job with a small blade width. Thanks for the saves!!

    Great save! Those Johnsons are great shavers IMO.
