This is a Roberts Warranted that gssixgun (Glen) restored for me a while back.
Whenever I had it done, I had him make a set of scales, also in horn for a John Barber. Had those mounted a while back and just got around to taking a picture.

very very nice razors !!!!!
Excellent looking blades.
Proving that age can be beautiful! The multicolored horn is amazing. Expanding on this a little, with these razors I can see some age in the blades. I like age. An analogy might be an older lady who has decided that getting old is a bad thing and goes down the slippery slope of cosmetic surgery, often in the process losing natural character in favor of a mask. Perhaps this is what is known as a buffer queen, I'm not really sure of the definition of one but it sounds like an obsessive need to remove any signs of age on the steel.
Wonderful, simple elegance! The horn is in perfect harmony with the blades.
Thank you for sharing!

Thanks, all.
They work well. Horn is surprisingly grippy and the stub tail works fine, at least for me.
These are my two. I haven't bought a razor in a couple of years.
They're all I need.
