I agree Bruno - Love JRs. I have a few, but only have pics of my wedges. Matching pair of 6/8s with ivory scales:

This is one of my favorite razors. Shaves nice though it is a handful. I'm looking for that perfect piece of wood to rescale this bad boy.

Rodgers,I like um
Just mist on these...my friend won't sell them.... bummer!!!
But i want to share them with you, they are un NEW condition.
MY GOD! you guys got some nice stuff!!!!!!!
Here's my 7/8 Jolly Rodgers with a new set of scales from Traveller. One of my top 3 shavers.
I don't have a picture either my JR is my ugliest razor, its scales are cracked and past polishing, but I am unwilling to take this razor out of the rotation lang enough to either buy or build another set more fitting for such a fine shaver.
This is one that I've restored lately. It is an heirloom for a client. It is such a nice razor I thought should be listed in this archive.

Beautiful Ken, just beautiful! :bow
If you had to hazard a guess, what would you say that scale material is?

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.
Yannis Here is some info on the razors owner(do you think)http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/pag...34&pageindex=1
Best regards gary
Thank you very very much Gary:bow
And excuse me all for the side by side placement of photographs, this was not my intention but...:gth
Yannis, wow, :bow, what a set!
Sweet, :tu, do not know what to say.....lucky you
So this is not a club for pirates ? :rolleyes:
Never mind. Hope this one gets me in the door.
My J.R. 'Improved Silver Steel'
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!!!!!!

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
I'm new to this but here are 2 I found. I now trying to run down information on them before I start restoring them.

This is my JR. The odd one out is the scales it had before. They were a beautiful pair of buffalo horn that would have polished up nicely. But they also had a big crack in them. Some time in the future when my restoration skills are good enough I want to try making a few sets of buffalo horn scales.
At the moment this razor is out being honed. I can't wait to get it back and play with it.
Haven't seen another one like mine out there yet so I thought I'd share.

It's a bear to hone but I love the look and feel of it.
Later,
80s
Here's my 15.00 Joseph Rodgers just back from being cleaned,honed and re-scaled by gssixgun.

Not going to end up keeping this one. I love the looks, but the tang feels a little funny to me.
This is my favorite Rodgers. It's an SOB to hone, but it gives a nice close shave.
