Thread: James Johnson Cast Steel

Hey guysI just picked up this James Johnson Cast Steel
A nice heavy grind 6/8
I understand its earlier than 1855 from a Neil Miller and Martin103 posts.
A pretty cool wedge end
Enjoy!Mike

Ohh he's a tough lookin old beasty Mike.
Very nice!

Nice razor. I like the simple bolster on it. How do you like the groove in the tang? I've never handled one like that before.
I bet the scales and bolster still have a bit of shine to them.

Thanks, the scales though are both broken. I will try to salvage the wedge / bolster though.
She's really a nice heavy grind and what appears to be a lot of hone wear is a result of an extremely shallow hollow.
I'm sure its going to be a fantastic shaver with that smile.

Now that's a crusty old warrior !!....Looking forward to seeing you weave your resto magic on this

Great looking blade Mike. You always seem to find those odd, but great looking blades. Definitely not a bad thing!

They are the only ones i buy now
Good news is, if you want to buy straight razors, Tillsonburg has a bunch
muhahahaha

Coming to Tillsonberg! Great old razors, and a clean bathroom near by.
