    Default Another J. Pound and Co. Sheffield.

    I haven't succumbed to RAD since before Christmas, but my other two J. Pound razors have been so enjoyable to use that I couldn't pass on this.
    The hone wear seems minimal, the scales are very good and I'm looking forward to putting this back into service.
    There's nothing "flashy" about these straights, but I love 'em !!
    The ebay price, $50.00 (BIN) was a tad expensive, but worth it to me.

    It has the shape of a modern full hollow and I know it says "hollow ground" but back then their hollow grinds could be pretty shallow. Give us an end pic of the profile.

    I was thinking the same thing as I looked at the blade. Not what we would consider a full hollow by mid twentieth century standards. All the better. The heavier grinds are great.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
