Another one is saved! Joseph Rodgers & Sons

Thank god for Max, another one of those brilliant old razors that was facing imminent death is saved. I got this guy in a pile with a few others from a market seller while travelling. Paid next to nothing for it and hoped it'll have a chance for revival:

(Micro Fastener's)

Ya, that Max guy can do some alright work once in awhile...lol. What's even more amazing is how he can make a microfastener look just as good as one of his own pins, which are amazing. Great work Max, and congrats olbez on a fine razor.

Nice restore. Beautiful results. I am sure it will shave as smooth as it looks!!

The razor looks fantastic, what a save! It should also be a very fine shaver, all my JR&Sons are.....I love 'em! Enjoy!!

That is a great restore! Have fun shaving with it!

(also thanks for the info about the adjustable pin! I did not know that ether!)

Just shaved with the razor.... But let me start by commenting on the looks - I think Max has reached the level of mastery that very few ever dream of. The razor looks just as if it was new, scales are fantastic and suit it so well. Even the modern adjustable pin isn't disturbing at all.

Razor shaved very well. I think, after regrinding it became a 1/8 hollow and I usually like them to be as close to a hollow as possible. Yet i liked how it felt on my face, picking up all the hair quietly without any drama, but with enough feedback giving me indications of the right angle etc...

I think I'll be one of the Max's groupies now :-)
