    I bought 22 rolls of 3M electrical tape off eBay for $17.99 free shipping! I use tape every time I hone.

    Since the scales of the Wiltshier in transparent horn was warped and too "homemade", I have rescaled it with a handle of the same epoch, in ivory and piqué work.

    Unknown maker, ~1820-1830. Stamped "Patent Tempered Steel". Had a nearly indistinguishable scroll-script etch of the word "Washington" on the blade which is nearly invisible now. New black horn scales with lead wedge.

    Nice job on replicating the original scales. Well done. Not a big fan of the decorative jewelry end caps. They are normally made from pot metal and break quite easily. I have used that same one and it happened when pinning it. Good luck and great looking horn scales nonetheless.

    Rodgers ~1820-1830 George IV regent stamp. I believe it to be from early in his reign. Blade is very thick and spine is ground flat. It is also the nearest example to a true wedge I've dealt with to date. Troublesome to hone. Condition is less than perfect, but a fantastic shaver none the less. New streaked horn scales.
