Over the weekend I picked up an old 7/8 Jolly Roger's Wedge for cheap. The blade is in fair condition but the edge sux. This wedge was made before the "Made in England" days & has black horn scales. one is broke & badly repaired. The other is in good shape The end of the the scales have a metal tip with two very small pins. The razor has a big smiley face top & bottom & yes pictures should be here this week sometime. Honeing this big hunk of steel is so far not successful. I love the feel of the blade & hope to make new scales & get it in using shape soon. Any advice would help.
Slawman, no Mayo. in my slaw:p
My last restauration: a perfect line and an impeccable shaving.

That's a nice set. I just picked up a couple of JRs that look very similar. The difference being that instead of No. 2 the etching on the blades says No. 1. Anyone know the difference? In any case, they are off to be cleaned up and restored so hopefully I should be about to post some nice pictures soon enough...these are my first restored vintage razors.Quote:

Any of you seen a grind like this? By all appearances it was done intentionally.

of my three vintages so far, my favourite is my JR 6/8 near wedge - I love shaving with this- the balance just feels spot on

That tang is quite different than anything I have seen. How does it feel in the hand?
Actually it's superb for the XTG pass - the belly pinch's perfectly between the thumb and index finger, great control.Quote:

Wow that is so nice! The details of that razor are outstanding!
If I was allowed to swear I would, so I could properly express myself. That is a wonderful razor!
That is more than a razor, it is a work of art.

Stunning razor SG!
I don't know if I would want to shave with that thing. I would be staring at it in the mirror the whole time and end up cutting something that shouldn't be cut. Very nice.
Beautiful razor Sir !!....That etching looks nice and deep.
Absolutely stunning!
The nicest razor i own! A 7/8 near wedge with thumb notch.

I've had them for a while. But have not found the matching two razors. One of these I use and uit shaves a treat.

Simple elegance Richard, I love it!
Lost some pics from this post....here's the razor's profile, both are in ivory scales...and heavy wedge ground...like tanks through whiskers.Quote:

A recent addition to my collection is this Lancet Edge razor. The Mappin Brothers razors show up every time I look for Lancet Edge. This is the first Rodgers I've come across. Cleaned, Honed it shaves well.
Those are lovely inoe.
