You can see the picture of this razor up at post #39 on page 4. I'd really like to see what you guys say.
    Took a lot of years to get that honest wear and patina. Really in nice shape IMHO. I wouldn't dream of shining it up. It has character as it is.

    Here is my new W.M. Greaves stub tail. At least it is now since someone cut the tail down. It's an oldie with the WR on the tang.

    Nice job on the John Barber scales and the flowered stacked washers look great. Nice idea. These big boys are great shavers as you probably know.

    Hello everybody, i'm browsing the forums for a while but never posted before so this is my first post.
    I just loved everything i've seen on this thread since I recently found myself as a stub tail lover.
    As for now I don't own too many stub-tail/very early razor but I'm definitely doing my best trying to place my hand on some...
    I have in my possession three old French razors with no tail at all (two of them comes in a nice honing case).
    But my favorite is the j.cam.patent that i've rescaled just today! These scales were removed from another old french razor and seems to be made from a horn.

    The crazy thing about this is I was just sitting here thinking, " I wonder if it'd be rude to ask Scienceguy or Voidmonster to post up some shots of a big bunch of their REALLY old stuff." So, thanks for reading my mind!

    Since posting that one picture I realized I left out about 7 razors, but some of them are in pretty bad shape, and I have this nagging suspicion that there's an 8th that I'm forgetting about.
