Frederick Reynolds
Here's a Frederick Reynolds I put together from parts to make a good straight razor. Awhile back I bought around ten sets of scales that were removed from straight razors because they either had bad blades or had custom scales made but I already had a blade I was waiting for scales & I finally got some. I forgot to take pics of the scales I used but the other scales shown are a good idea of what they looked like before. I sanded the scales on both sides of each one. The insides of them still showed the saw marks from when they were first made but I got rid of them by sanding the insides & out, then finishing off at 3000 grit sandpaper. The scales came out nice after hand polishing with Maas. The only thing new on this razor are the brass pins, i re-used the original collars. Before the blade couldn't be seen through the scales but after sanding & polishing the scales are translucent.

They are my favorite Sheffield razor. I have a couple and they are pretty grand. You did a nice job on that one.

Thank you Shaun! I also had to needed a thicker wedge for that one & I had a vintage one that was a little too big so I filed it down to fit. It is all vintage except for the pins. Originally Posted by RezDog

Nice one! Those things are SICK! They hone up swell and shave the dickens. I have had several. They keep talking me out of them!
My last one! (sigh!) Got another one now! Wish I had kept it, though!Last edited by sharptonn; 01-17-2015 at 03:34 AM.
