Silverloaf delivers! Restored 1800's Joseph Rodgers & Sons is my new favorite razor!

I bought this fantastic blade from Silverloaf and have been shaving with it for a week or so and am truly amazed. He restored the blade and made custom horn scales for it with a nice blue acrylic wedge and new pins. The weight is fantastic (all of my other razors are hollows) and it is scary sharp. I get as close with a two-pass using this razor as I do with a three-pass using my other razors. I was in the market for a restored, Victorian-era Sheffield wedge or near-wedge and I think I ended up with a winner!

Very nice! You don't happen to have a few more pics, do you?

JR's are among my favorites. That one looks just lovely. Enjoy it!

I'll take some better pics and throw them up when I get home. I'm no photographer though

I bought a restored Mappin Bros. razor from Silverloaf, and I too am very happy with it.

If you just bought it a week or two ago then you are the jerk who outbid me for it, lol. I was trying to get it as well. Was outbid at like the last minute. Well done. I will have a sun logo on a razor some day
