Thread: Can't wait

I'm betting on Ivory judging by the grain looking effect, I haven't seen that in bone. Looks like a really decent razor and being its a Sheffield should shave really well.

I had a W&B that had thin bone scales and they bowed out a little allowing the blade to protrude ever so slightly out the bottom of the scales which I didn't think was very safe. I added a third pin which solved the problem.

Good luck finding a job...........

Great find. Put me in the it's ivory column as well. Sweet lines on the razor.

It is another sweet looking razor Roger. I too am in the ivory camp, it is odd that is has collars on the ins though.

I think the C Congreves had collars also. I hope this one is easier to hone than the Congreves. it was hard.

The challenge once completed should make you proud.

This one came today. You can't be lucky all the time. It is ivory. the scales aren't quite as I would like. one side looks like it was buffed in the middle a little too much. There not cracked but not as nice as the photo suggest. The blade well it's got age and use on it. looks like it too was brushed too much on one side. I took it to the buffer and polished the blade some then cleaned . I just got through honing and will find out about it's shaving ability tomorrow. If it shaves I will make the decision whether to keep it or let it find a new home.

Sorry you didn't get another big slam.
