I just snagged a lot of razors off e-bay and included was this razor:



It is a Joseph Rodgers, Sheffield razor. I thought the tang was very unusual, so, i decided I'll give it a shot to restore the blade.

now, I did some google searching, and i found this image:

Pair of Joseph Rodgers razors in ivory

What do you guys think? think this razor has ivory handle & tang?

The one thing that leads me to believe it might be celluloid is the ridges that are carved into the tang. I don't think thats very commonly done to ivory.

Either way, I didn't pay a whole lot for the lot, and included in it was another Sheffield wedge.

Any comments welcome!!!
