Thread: 7/8 MANHATTAN CUTLERY CO., Custom Scales - shave ready

(9)
Manufactured 1850-1890 by John Newton & Co.. Back of blade hollow with Barber notch tip and single shoulder. Blade measures approximately 3 ⅛ X ⅞. On shank "MANHATTAN CUTLERY CO. SHEFFIELD". Blade cleaned, polished and honed shave ready. A few spots of pitting here and there towards spine. Custom Podauk wood scales inlay with dark horn and copper.
This razor has been in my rotation for the past 2-3 years and has always given me close comfortable shaves.

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.

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.
