Romo 8/8

Dose anyone know anything about this razor. I would also like to replace the handle do to the crack around the pivot. Anyone have any advice on how to inlay the solgen emblem into a new set of scails. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...ac0edb77c4.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...48aedb067e.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c1d7d419d4.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...7d5f77dcbd.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...a97ab24ab4.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...70c7587a7f.jpg

there are some posts on transferring the inlay http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...-gssixgun.html

Not sure about anything other than the asking price, I would pass for that. Tc

Those look like arbitrary antique store prices

I mean this is from Rosenbaum & Mogal (New York) Cutlery or directly from Solingen for this customer.Greetings from Germany.

Might be worth seeing if revisor do replacement scales like those, I've seen identical scales on some revisor methinks

That is a good idea. If you contact Revisor you can ask if they have a set of scales like these Spare parts : E-0013 to fit an 8/8 razor . The you could just transfer the Solingen inlay yourself. Revisor may even be able to supply the scales with the Solingen inlay already attached. Worth a shot.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that price tag :dropjaw:

I personally would not give more than $50 for that one because it looks like it needs some fixing up to take out the scratches and blemishes. Plus it looked like the scales have a hairline scratch in them at the pivot.

Aaron, it does not look 8/8 to my eye?

tell me about the razor in the bottom left of the first pic. Looks like an old frameback or something.

Was thinking that too Tom, it looks a might small for an 8/8. Tc

It is a frame back. A very large frame back.

That's what I thought at first. Then I opened it. I never actually measured it but is plenty bigger than my wade and butcher 7/8. The frame back is about the same size.

Purchase the frameback as long as it looks usable!

Turned out to be just under 7/8 http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...4f7406ac2c.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...cb9b6ef926.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...4e632ad336.jpg

Control panel is an odd choice for a background, but looks like that'll be a nice shaver!

It was taken in the store. I figured sense it was only 35 I would put up with the bad stamp on the blade

What's wrong with the stamp, it says Merican Barber. I would have been more concerned about what looks like a crack at the pivot.

Nice razor! I really like French framebacks. They shave like a wedge with the honing convenience of a full hollow.

The stamp is just worn down it did say American barber but it's obvious that someone has done work to this blade already. As for the crack that's not the only thing that's wrong with these handles. The pivot holes are really big and you can tell that it's been re- pinned. I'm probably just going to make new scales and mirror polish the blade and possibly remove the entire American Barber. We'll see... I might even just sell it.

looks great! Don't mirror polish the blade it's so clean already!
