Thread: The Rustiques

I thought this Simmons would feel right at home with this group. She is an excellent shaver. I am saving her till I have the ability to use her properly. Innuendo intended...

She's a beauty

Very nice and little to no hone wear, nice razor indeed!

This old George Savage has great patina....

I like it! Nice pic as well...

Man those are nice. Love the Barber notch with the top and bottom thumb notches.

I just got this poor thing yesterday. I have Plans for it, but they'll depend on my ability to get into the general neighborhood of clean first. After touching it I feel like I need a tetanus shot.

I'm afraid the scales are quite dead. Apart from the lunar pockmarks one whole pinning end is missing. I may, however, try and figure out a way of preserving them in a strange way. The idea here was to have a project razor. The thing is quite near to a true wedge, so it's sure to be a pleasure to hone once I scour the disease off.

Oughta be the perfect candidate to try electrolysis on.

The other acquisition, another W&B, is in much better shape.

Peeking Edge by Zak Jarvis, on Flickr

Unfortunately, the scales are a tad too small, so the razor peeks out the bottom. I haven't decided yet whether I'm going to try and flatten the horn when I seal up that crack or if I'll just rescale entirely.

I'm really, really liking these razors that look like they've been through hell and back.

Not very pretty,but this thing shaves great.....

So many nice razors in here. I like 'em with a few marks here and there.
Here's my Frederick Reynolds (Hamburg Ring). She's a bit lopsided on the edge but so, so sharp and always smooth.

That old gal is quite purdy! Please don't change her clothes...
