    Default Frederick Reynolds

    Picked up a Frederick Reynolds for $28 yesterday. It looks to be about a 6/8ths. The blade is shiny as new, but the tail is totally black with rust. The scales are horn, and good enough that I won't want to replace them. I wish I could post a pic, but that's gonna' take a camera, so it'll have to wait

    Anyone here have much experience with these? It seems like a good blade.

    Just finished a restore on one, and it's a Great Shaver!

    Me too, just gotta hone it. Nice 5/8 wedge. Also got another in the work pile IIRC.

    I picked up a FR Magnetic a few weeks ago and it gives a fantastic shave - once I got used to using the big, curved, saber-looking son of a gun.
