My fantasy.......
Right, I've worked out what I love.....
Here is the low down..
1 Oblique or French point as some call it
2 Ivory or similar scales
3 plainish blade
4 Ideally French
I beg you gentlemen (and the couple of ladies here) post pictures of your razors if they roughly conform to these spec's.
Love M

Hi,
Hopefully these photo's work!
It a 13/16" quarter hollow. The only stamp it has says A&N.C.S.L
Scales are bone, or possibly ivory.
Not sure how near your criteria it is, but i restored it & love it!Last edited by ben.mid; 10-30-2008 at 08:48 PM. Reason: Whoaa! Massive photo's!

Thanks mate!
I got it from an antique shop in reading. It was a bit pitted, a bit rusted, & a lot tarnished.
I routed a wheel the exact radius of the hollow, put in a spindle to fit it in a drill, covered it in sandpaper & carefully ground the pitting out.
Then i wet & dry papered it up to 1200 before polishing it up.
I left the scales on as i didn't want to take my first one too far in case i buggered it up!
It's nice & hefty, weighing 60g.
