Thread: Reynolds Rat Pack

This is my newest edition a big wicked wedge really looking forward to the honing challenge,i say that now, from what i hear maybe not later ive been brushing up on how to hone wedges this will be my first go and im sure it will be worth it .Sorry about the photos they could be better the blade is etched with, diamond steel razor tempered by patent process written on it .

Count me in .... haven't shaved with her yet ...

Before a few days i bought a Frederick Reynolds me too!It is a 7/8 at widest point, the blade is wedge with a custom scale.The seller told me that it was made in 1890's.I bought it for about 210$.
I want to ask you if you have more information about his age or anything else you know.Also if it was a good purchase for the money i spent for it .It was very difficult to find a F.R in a excellent condition like this.
Finally to say I am very proud for having a F.R and his shaving is fantastic!

Here's my pair.




The big one in the back is a wonderful shaver. Still dialing in the silver steel as it was a 7/8 snaggle tooth when I got it. It's closer to a 6/8 now.
Here's the before I started making it lighter with about halfway through the agony in the lower half pic.

Heres my first Reynolds, incredibly well preserved and nearly an inch wide

My old Snaggle toothed Freddy R is now a razor again.

Here's my only example of a pure wedge FR. She's the only one I have in the collection too!

It's as wedgie a wedge as ever there was, and a real bear to hone. It was horribly pitted, and still has some remainders that will be there forever. I used it in a SOTD some months back, but you can tell she's obviously a FR. This one happens to have been rescaled in custom micarta.

Add me to the club!!

My wedge is OK, but I really like the faux frameback models.

my Radical Reynolds...done up By Glen...Modified toe and heel

Okay, I'll add mine. It's a great shaver when I've got the edge dialed in!
