Joseph Rodgers From local ad!
Just browsing the local free ad newspaper and saw an ad for a Joseph Rodgers cut throat for £7 ($12) no other information was given.
So I sent a message to the lady who posted the add.
She sent me this image.... I nearly had a heart attack! Payment has been sent and she's posting it over
I'm a very happy bunny atm, I think it's one of the 1970's wedge models. Will know for sure in a few days!

It looks like it has never been used. I wonder if she had to break the seal to take the picture!!!

It looks to be in very nice condition. Great score. I'd say it's a fair bit older than the 1970'S.

I just took delivery of this razor pictures to come..
It's NOS. Never seen a stone, minty. And stamped no6 Norfolk street. That means it's at the latest 1929 when they sold that property....
I'm actually shaking right now.
The blade stamp is " Universally approved fine india steel"
The tang stamp is
Joseph Rodgers and sons
Cutlers to their majesties
No 6 Norfolk street

THAT is one sweety of a razor. Nice find! The bevel on the spine is unlike any I've seen previously.
!! Enjoy the exquisite taste sharpening sharpening taste exquisite smooth. Please taste the taste enough to ride cutlery.
