Thread: Marshes, Ponds and Environs

Gentlepeople,
Here around the Sheffield ponds we have many old makers. There are the good Marsh boys and friends, Steer and company. So please take a minute to show off your Ponds Works razors. Even if they are a bit rusty from all that water.

first up a Marshes and Shepherd in pink ivory scales. I like to thank Garythepenman for the scales... he has made some outstanding scales and his restorations are great... you boys down under should be looking him up by now!

Can I just add thats a lovely looking razor and scales are awesome ... nice work .

Is this thread intended to highlight Sheffield blades or just certain Sheffield blades?

Well preferably "Ponds work" razors, or razors from makers that at one time or another have made "Ponds works" razors. folks like Marsh Brothers, Marshes & Shepherd, Steer and Company, and I'm sure there were many others. Think of the lesser known Sheffield's, not the biggies like WB, Mappin, Wostenholm, etc...

She's a beauty!!

Ok, for a second there, I was thinking there's a Sheffield upstate. My bad...

it might be thatthe pondsworkds was too limiting... so lets add the don, trinity and washington works to the mix... i know you guys have these razors... just ship the wb stuff they are boring!

I think this is a Marshes and Shepherd, there is no name remaining on the tang. But the shape and style seem to point that way.

The biggest Razor, I ever seen - a Marshes & Shepherd
