Thread: Results of my last "hunt" - 2x Solingen, 1x Sheffield

Very nice finds.

The scales on the bottom razor look similar to a frameback I have and I believe they are pressed leather. Is that the case with yours?

Hello, thanks for your opinion. The scales material is hard, it seems rather ebonite than pressed leather, but I will explore it more thoroughly.

I think it is violet and pressed leather on the W.B Humphrey's &Co. I have an old Sheffield around here somewhere that Geezer told me that’s what the scales were made from.
