Joseph Rodgers Frameback Razor
I found this neglected "baguette" style Joseph Rodgers&Sons frameback a couple of months ago, blade only, lonely, and needing a new set of clothes, a bath, and some TLC.
So fresh from a major restore, this unique looking Joseph Rodgers frameback razor was cleaned up, polished, and given a new set of horn scales and three pins to steady his nerves!

That has a most unusual shape to the tang. What a nice find!

Boy is that nice!! The blade, the shape of the tang, the shape of the scales, the third pin, and the fact that it's a frameback all add up to one beautiful piece of shaving artistry. I can't imagine how well it shaves.
Congratulations on a real beauty!
