    My newest Robeson arrived today! A "New Science Concave" # 1560.
    In the end it will be okay.
    If it's not okay, it's not the end.

    It has a belly grind to it. Nice razor.

    I thought it was pretty cool. And the guys on here say they are good as shavers, so, there it is. I am thinking I want to "restore" the blade etching. After searching on here, it's a toss up between using ferric oxide (fecl3) or gun bluing. I really like the way the ferric oxide marks. But I could certainly use advice. Also thinking I may want to redo the scale engraving with some silver ink (period correct?) but not sure about the longevity of it. Input from the forum is always appreciated.
    In the end it will be okay.

    Maybe I am becoming a Robeson nut, but I do like the way they shave.
    My newest acquisition is a hammered tang 34-D-300.

    I think I may have RAD.

    Terrier Cutlery was a premium brand of Robison from 1910 until 1916.

    I found some original scales for it which are ringers for the more common Robison version..
