Thread: Wonky spine.

Hacker, you could Scallop your own, for fun.

Here is the F. Fenney I mentioned earlier. I hate the scales on it. I think they would be better on another razor maybe but not this one. This is the way I got it but I will find some nice horn scales to put back on it. I just got lucky on that one & no one else bid so I pretty much stole it.



Here's a W&B blade that has a different spine. Unfortunately it has a crack near the heel so it will end up in the Butchered Blade thread in the future. I sure hated it too. These don't come up as often. It was dirty & after I cleaned it up, I noticed the crack. The seller treated me fairly when I told him because after I spotted the crack, as disappointed as I was, I knew it would make a nice shorty.

The Boker 1056 was one of the first razors that I just had to have.

I bought one of those HRC Damascus razors to play around with perhaps I will give it a shot.


Ugly as sin but the steel seems good. We shall see. Off with the scales, get rid of the spike heel and maybe shape the point thinking spanish.

Its done already.

Engine thats a great looking Fenney. A nice pair of horn scales would top it off. Maybe honey horn.

Well OCD and all its now in my possession. It has the Victoria regent on it. It's in pretty nice shape. Can't wait to hone her up and shave.

Very nice! I'm glad you were able to grab that one. It looks like it's in really good shape. How's the tang feel with that unusual shape? Such a cool looking razor there.
