Thread: 13/16 EARLY JOSEPH ELLIOT, Custom Scales - Shave Ready

(17)
Manufactured 1795-present. This razor pre 1890. Back blade straight with Spanish notch tip and no shoulder. Blade measures approximately 3 3/8 x 13/16. On shank "forward and backward 'C' with Maltese Cross - JOSEPH ELLIOT". Blade cleaned, polished and honed shave ready. Custom Podauk Wood scales inlay with copper, horn and ivory. Brass domed washers and pins.

Light coat of oil for protection on blade. Please look at photos as they are best description.

Honing: One layer of electrical tape on spine. Bevel set on 600 grit diamond hone. Then 6000 water stone and finished on 12,000 oil stone, 20,000 Jasper, then glass plate. Then stropped on canvas with diamond paste and then leather and disinfected. A $18.00 VALUE FREE.

I personally test shave each razor before final disinfection. Shave ready is different to each person. Factors like light or coarse beard or beard length come into play. I have a heavy beard and test shave every razor on a two day growth. If razor gives a close comfortable shave I call it shave ready. If it does not shave right I re-hone the razor.

Payment due in three days.

I do like the inlays.
Are they your work?

Yes they are. I did one once with the Yin Yan symbol.
