    Default F Herder #77 Custom-scaled shorty

    Nice Herder 13/16 #77 blade which was dropped on the factory floor (I suppose) eons ago and was part of the liquidation.
    It was broken toward the toe and enough remained to make a nice shorty razor of it. The edge has 2 1/4 inches and the tip was nicely dressed and polished.

    The custom scales are of Cocobolo with sturdy big and little brass domes.
    Honed through 12k and lightly finished on blue-green Escher.
    Shorty razors are nice to use and this one is no exception. Only has a few shaves on it.
    Nice, tiny, even bevel. Great shaver!

    135.00 shipped CONUS. Postal MO, Cleared Personal check, or PP F&F.

    Questions or comments, please PM.
    Thanks!

    I can't afford it at the moment, but for what it is worth I really like it. If I had the cash, I would buy it.

    I have a Frederick Herder #77 I bought from Japan off the bay, my favorite and best shaving German made razor. Also have a Richard Herder, both are fantastic shavers.

    Someone needs to grab this one, you won't be sorry........

    I love this razor. If I hadn't taken a pay cut a couple of months ago I'd be all over this!
