    Default 6/8 FREDERICK REYNOLDS - shave ready

    Not pretty but shaves great!
    (12)
    Manufactured mid to late 1800's. Back of blade hollow with Barber notch tip and no shoulder. Faux Frameback blade measures approximately 3 X 6/8. On shank "MANUFACTURED BY - FREDERICK REYNOLDS - SHEFFIELD". Blade c!earned, polished and honed shave ready. Pitting on blade. Dark horn scales cleaned and polished with nickel silver pins and washers. Crack at non pivot end secured with superglue.

    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 20,000 Jasper. Then stroped 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.

    Free USPS First Class shipping to U.S. only. Optional insurance $2.75 extra. If not insured seller is not responsible for damage during shipping.
    Outside U.S. I pay first $4.00, buyer pays balance. Optional insurance varies by destination and will be calculated before payment.

    Thank you.

    $25.00

    I am sure those that do complete restores could get most of the pitting out. I do all sanding by hand.
