How about a full Sequoia Tree on each side. That is one monster razor.
But seriously Redwood Burl Would be a fantastic choice and would be kind of fitting.

Here you get a picture of one of my straight razors:

I have just stumbled upon this club and seeing as I have a few JR's I'll let you guys have a look.


This one is being brought back to life the Ivory scales are cracked so will be rescaled in blonde horn I'll post the pic's when I get it back.



These 2 are waiting restoration. They have bone scales I'm planning on having the rescaled with camel bone because the marks and stains will not polish out.

These are some interesting razors.

I have a "Jolly Rodger", that is marked The Celebrated on the blade. I believe it is from about 1850-1870, but could be off. I know that it has been in the family since at least 1900. Any information would be very helpful in dating it.

Here's my latest JR the Blade is engraved with The Gentlemans Razor.



Also I noticed are Club has not got a Logo who do we talk to about getting one?

Seeing as we do not have one I have had a go at making one.
If you like it copy paste it into your signature. if you guys don't like it we can always have a rethink.

New to the forum and new to straight razors for the most part.

I was just given a JR&S razor, here are the before pictures (sorry for the craptastic cell pics). I will be restoring it in the next few days. more pics to follow.

welcome to the club the JR looks like it has potental.

Thanks!

Any thoughts on what the scales are made of?
