SOLD Joseph Smith Celebrated Custom Matching Horn Scales !!
This shave ready pair of Joseph Smith & Sons Celebrated Razors has a really cool blade profile, and custom streaked horn scales by Tarkus. Hate to let 'em go but I've got vet bills to pay for the little cat. The largest one is a hair under 7/8 at the widest point, the other a hair over 6/8. The patina was not completely polished out, as I liked them the way they are. Beautiful streaked horn scales. $250.00 shipped in the CONUS. International shipping according to destination.

Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Two rare old wedges....Those front-side spine decorations are neat!
Even more rare are these custom-made matching horn scales by Tarkus!
After his doing my pair of Mappins and then this fine pair for Jimmy, he swore to me;
NO MORE PAIRS!
Seriously, I have 4 razors rescaled by him and they are also very nice.
The smiling profile and Jimmy's pro-honing should make someone a fine, comfortable pair of antique, collectible shavers.

Why ain't nobody snagged these?
Jimmy, I think you should edit the OP title to make clear this is a matching pair. 2 razors!JimmyHAD and HARRYWALLY like this.

Okay...one more time. 'Matched pair, custom streaked horn scales'.
One exclamation point shall do.
These 2 blades were born together. Pretty cool they are still together and shaving!

well, I gaze at the photos on a daily basis (ok, sometimes more), but they're just out of my price range at the moment.... I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. Originally Posted by JimmyHAD
