    Default My pair of John Barbers showed up today

    And what a pair it is. There's a crack in one scale but it's not too bad and there's a peculiar slope to the spine that I've not seen before. When looking down the length of the spine, at the toe there seems to be a slight upward slope towards the face side of the blade. It's the same on both razors and I wonder if this will make honing them difficult. I'm not sure if my pictures show what I'm talking about adequately. At any rate, it is a beautiful pair in remarkable shape for their age and I'm thrilled to be adding them to my collection.

    John Barber is the maker. Here is an old post with some excellent bits of information that Mr. Neil Miller provided-
