This razor was recently added to the Workshop gallery, but I thought it might fit in here. If it doesn't then please delete it. I can't wait to shave with it!
I don't know if this on-line resource regarding the history of the firm Rodgers has been published before in SRP. I found it in the web and hope you can find it interesting.
Best regards

This has become my favorite shaver. It is original and from the mid/late 1800's. Don't ask me what that thing is in the pics, these are from RayG's ad :thinking:-->Tod

Just picked up a 6/8 with blade etching that reads "Dutch Hollow Ground". The good news is I gave 15.00 for it, the bad news is that it appears the blade has been ground into an exaggerated spike. Will post pics as soon as I can get some made.
I have added a page in Wiki about Rodgers.

Not the best pic, was in a hurry to get it made before the rain hit, but here's the Joseph Rodgers & Sons that I picked up yesterday for a whopping 15 dollars.
Rodgers times of board William IV (1830-1837), marked W(crown)R.
Ivory scales. Spanish point, wedge.
This razor was already mentioned at the forum http://straightrazorpalace.com/aucti...r-majeste.html
