Silverloaf delivers! Restored 1800's Joseph Rodgers & Sons is my new favorite razor!

I bought this fantastic blade from Silverloaf and have been shaving with it for a week or so and am truly amazed. He restored the blade and made custom horn scales for it with a nice blue acrylic wedge and new pins. The weight is fantastic (all of my other razors are hollows) and it is scary sharp. I get as close with a two-pass using this razor as I do with a three-pass using my other razors. I was in the market for a restored, Victorian-era Sheffield wedge or near-wedge and I think I ended up with a winner!

Very nice! You don't happen to have a few more pics, do you? ;)

JR's are among my favorites. That one looks just lovely. Enjoy it!

I'll take some better pics and throw them up when I get home. I'm no photographer though ;)

I bought a restored Mappin Bros. razor from Silverloaf, and I too am very happy with it.

If you just bought it a week or two ago then you are the jerk who outbid me for it, lol. I was trying to get it as well. Was outbid at like the last minute. Well done. I will have a sun logo on a razor some day

Sorry about that EmbalmerSTL!

you post pics of it on here yet?

Thats a awesome looking razor!!!

Thanks, Travelor! I'm guessing you are a traveling man? I am. AF&AM here in MO

EmbalmerSTL, I'm neither as creative nor as talented a photographer as you, but here is a pic of the Mapping Bros. razor. I'm amazed at how smoothly it shaves. I hope that you enjoy your new acquisition as much as I'm enjoying mine!

This time, with the pic!

That's the one, alright. Well we both ended up with awesomely restored Sheffield blades, so I guess we both win. I really dig silverloaf's work, his customs look great as well

Great looking razor, great restore! Awesome shaves are waiting....

Nice razor, like the blue wedge also.

Thank you!
