Thread: Question about a SR

Looks like it’s in pretty good shape. Are those horn scales?

Are you able to see the other side to check for pits etc?

Like everyone else has said, if the price is right, go for it.

If were within my grasp, you wouldn't have a chance. Looks to be in great shape

Ha ha ha ... yeah, may not have a chance anyone.

Akron, OH? My folks used to live out that way. Nice area.

That must have been some time ago. Not like it used to be, I'll promise you that. Its been called Crackron, by the locals since the late 80s .

Too bad. My family is from Ohio, myself included, but many have moved out of the state. I can remember the fourth of July parades when I was a kid.

Their still a big thing here, especially the portage lakes area. Biggest event of the year.

I also enjoy the shoulderless styles, but they are a stiffer grind. If you prefer singing hollows, this will be a change for you. If you like heay old wedge styles, its a Still a change!
If you dont want it, hook me up!

If you end up with it, I'd be happy to hone it for you. "Upstate NY" covers a pretty large area, but here I am!

Yes, it is a Frederick Reynolds. To be honest, that doesn't mean much to me. Actually, it doesn't mean anything to me. I love the way the scales look and I like that the shoulder doesn't look like it would get in the way. Just my thoughts.

Frederick Reynolds made some of the best razors to come out of Sheffield back in the day. I.e. they were very well made from excellent steel, and if it has been treated well in the past should serve you extremely well. As long as the things Shaun mentioned are absent (cracks, dings in the edge) I suspect you would be very pleased with it. Nice find.

I like the idea of a shoulderless razor.

I have a couple of shoulderless razors that I like for other reasons, so I'm curious about your like of shoulderless...how come?

I don't have one, so that alone makes me want to try one. I am also curious on how a shoulderless razor hones in comparison to what I already own.
