Joseph Rogers Rescale
I got this one and it had some black bakelite scales that were in really good shape, but was alittle off balance for what I like so decided to rescale it. I guess the fact that I had some nice looking curly cocobolo lying around helped me decide to rescale. It is a 6/8 1/4 hollow Joseph Rogers & Sons. There was a couple spots of rust on the tang and some scratches on the blade, but decided to just remove the rust and leave the scratches. I couldn't get good picture of the scales to show the "curly", but it is more pronounced in person. I was actually able to save the collars which I end up ruining 9 out of 10 so was glad for that cause they go well with the razor. I used a smaller set of collars for the pivot pin that matched the larger ones. I used minwax tung oil for the finish and buffed it to a warm glow. Now if only I could instantly grow some facial hair to try this one out.

Nice work on those scales.
Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

That looks great! Those look like they would look great on my barber's notch 6/8 Wade and Butcher that needs to be rescaled. If you have any extra lying around still or know where to get some, please PM me.

That's an amazing piece of Coccobolo. I thought it was bloodwood at first. Love the overall looks.

I had a couple sets of blanks that I wanted to use, but couldn't decide on whether to use the tighter looking grain or the looser. Either one I think would have turned out nice.

Nice work on the scales. No matter how long you have to wait for the facial hair to grow it will be worth it. IMHO I don't think you can beat a JR&Sons shave.

Nice work. I would be a happy shaver to have that straight in my rotation. : )
