    James.
    It's horn. It was in rough shape but soaking it in Neatsfoot Oil brought it back.
    It's waxed with carnuba.

    Default Joseph Rodgers 7 day set of 1875



    The most beautifull J. Rodgers razors that I have.
    Saturday and Sunday are with hard rubber and not ivory scales.
    I like that the razors are dated.

    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

    come on gentlemen step right up, step right up. A troubling situation has arrived in the razor club and that is the use of thumbnail pictures. I know that some of you old timers still remember when the razor clubs were a thing of beauty! with large glossy pictures of razors and we viewed until our hearts content. but those days are through it would seem. I beseech all the members of the razor clubs to take the poll in the general section and vote to restore large pictures to our beloved razor clubs. It is up to us gent and together we can restore these clubs to there former glory!!!!!!

    There was also a John Giraud who was promoted as Rector of the St. Saviour's church in Guernsey in 1874. His son (also John) graduated from Elizabeth's college there in 1875. Maybe daddy gave a nice speech?

    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.
