Some nice strop material!
OOOPS wrong thread.....:)
Some old razors give me a chance to go all-natural off the bevel-setter with my limited abilities.
I figure this old Pitchford to be one.
Going off the 1k Norton to Gnomestone, Ferrarelli's old Coticule to Escher tonite. Slurry galore!
Here goes nothing! :D

You guys should see the additional pictures of that F. Reynolds on Glen's Face Book page.
Glen did an amazing job on that hunk of ebay rust with broken scales I sent him! I can't wait to give it the ol' shave test here!
The other one, the Randall Hall, was originally restored by Traveller.... Unfortunately, I broke the scales with rough handling. Glen made some beautiful horn scales as a replacement, and fixed her up pretty!
For my 60th birthday, it looks like I'll be shaving in style! <grin>
