    Neil, What do you think about these razors stacking up against other sheffields? Is the quality still there in the one "R" Horabin Phoenix razors?

    I wish I knew - I have not had the pleasure of trying either!

    Here is a 7/8 'Horrabin' (with 2 'RR's ) that I have, stamped RED HILL WORKS, and I will tell you that it is a wonderful shaver! The scales are pressed horn in perfect condition and are stamped 'CONGRESS RAZOR' on one side and 'INDEPENDENCE' on the other. I have since restored this and it is one of my 'FAV's'!

    Wow that quite the find right there, right up my alley, the blade looks great but the pressed horn scales look like they were done yesterday.
    You dont come across that very often, Enjoy!
