Hi guys,

Here's my recently acquired Joseph Rodgers & Sons, 6/8, ¾ hollow, Frosted Blue acrylic scales tapered with a genuine ivory wedge. I got it from Max and again he did a terrific restoration and finish with the scales.

Earlier, I had already admired the clear see-through scales on one of Max’s other razors. And when this one came along, it was around my birthday, I got it!
The unnecessary buys are the nicest, most of the times, this one too!


Thanks,

My recently acquired JR&Sons not sure about age although its not stamped England on the tang so the earlier production I believe. This is my first Straight Razor and I think I may be keeping this one for a while. It's beautiful, but needs a good hone. The scales are Olive wood, natural and blood stained.

Let me know what you guys think.

There are some truly gorgeous examples in these pages.

Hi men i would love to join the club with my only two rodgers a gentlemans set silver steel blades, wedges great shavers once you get them honed right.They are also dressed in ivory scales lovely old ladies.

Another Joseph Rodgers done up by Max which I received only a couple of days ago:

Recently acquired this little item and thought here would be a good place to post my first Joseph Rodgers. Nothing has been done to itexcept it's been honed up for use.

One of the best looking straights I have EVER seen!
