Very nice! I wish I had that collar. It would be on the way.

Very nice indeed. Nothing like a big old Sheffield blade from that era.

I found a Middleton 8/8 in an antique mall, got it for $25 and had it restored. It shaves fine, but I've discovered that it does not take well to stropping on linen, that the linen seems to make the edge fragile. Since I discontinued using linen on it, it has been fine. I no longer use linen stropping at all.

I too have been thinking of making some like that as well.

Thinking of turning the bead on the edge, then doming, let us know what you come up with. It would be nice if you could post some close up photos of the collars once you get them off.

Great find, nice razor.

Thanks for posting.
