    Default My collection is complete!!!

    ...Complete, except for a massive George Savage chopper, and the same with Marshes and Shephard. I've bought everything else I could possibly want in the razor department, and these are the missing treasures...


    SO, if any of you fine fellows knows where to "get" one, I will be eternally grateful

    Oh, the collection includes at least 1 pristine example of the following, usually 2 or 3, in a big wedge-grind most likely:
    John Barber
    Thomas Turner
    Mappin Brothers
    Joseph Rodgers
    George Wostenholm
    W. Greaves
    Dovo
    Dubl Duck
    Wm. Jackson
    MJ. Higgins
    Wade and Butcher
    Joseph Smith
    Frederick Reynolds
    Brittain, Wilkinson & Brownell (GB Anchor)

    Don't even suggest any of the hollow ground solingens, I'm just not a huge fan

    You're also missing a big F. Fenney Tally Ho wedge.

    I have one of the big 8/8 Marshes and Shepherd wedges from the 40s that I am thinking of selling. Still going back and forth on whether I want to keep her, but if you want, I'll let you know if I decide to put it up on eBay.

    Halsted Makes some big sheffield choppers. I have a Jackson & Son's Chopper that is 11/8. It is a hollow ground razor though. It is an incredible shaver

    If you have what I think you have, it IS an incredible shaver. Does it look something like this? (for ScienceGuys benefit, this is one that I custom made scales for)

    They are similar. The blade says, "The Celebrated.Hollow Ground Razor. Set Ready For Use." The tang has a masonic symbol. It says, "WM Jackson & Sons. Sheaf Island Works. Sheffield."

    Beautiful looking razor you have there!

    Wilton also makes some massive sheffield choppers. I sold mine. It was an 8/8 wedge that was extremely heavy. It was the heaviest razor I've ever held. I sold it to someone here last summer.
