Thread: Jolly Rodgers

I heard Tiffany's use blood diamonds.... Sorry couldn't help myself!

One for the road

I got my Rodgers (not Joseph Rodgers, at leadt not then) Refined Steel back from cleanup and honed her up. Beautiful razor, I should have had black horn scales put on it. Took a fantastic edge.I take it that this is cast steel and it dates, I belive, from about 1910-1916.

in my opinion this razor is older: around mid-19th century.

You are correct, that’s a typo. I meant to type 1816. It had to be before the sons and the royal warrant. I suspect that the scales (plastic) are not original to the razor.

It is not a Joseph Rodgers but another of the various Rodgers who produced cutlery in Sheffield

That’s very possible. You wouldn’t have a citation for the maker would you?

A previous discussion.....https://sharprazorpalace.com/razors/...ml#post1280567

Here’s one I pulled out to freshen up and shave with this week..

Scales are modified Jerry Starks. Because the thick G10 is rigid and the tang is wide, I had to grind out a section so the blade could seat well.
