I straight shaved for the first time today with my ODH and loved it. So what did I do when I saw this in a small shop today? I talked them down from $45 to $32 and bought it.
Just what I need, another AD[emoji1]

Oh man! your on a roll! Another with very little hone wear, and a big time name to boot. Frederick Reynolds are among the most desired Sheffield blades, and one of my favourites too. Scales look to be in great shape, but I suspect a great deal of rust around the pivot pin. If I were you, I'd send that one to Glen as well to work his magic on. You'll then have 2 perfect representations, of 2 different styles of straight razors. The German spike point, and the English smiling wedge.
Thank you for confirming that this is a good one. I saw it and had a feeling. Lurking here for a while has helped.[emoji1]Quote:

Awesome razor! Don't have a Reynolds in the stable yet but haven't found bad Sheffield steel yet. That one is gonna hone up and shave super I'm sure!
What a lovely blade - enjoy
Nie find! even at 45 you would have scored! Well done!
That's a winner for sure! I have nothing against Frederick Reynolds. They are among some of the best Sheffield straights.
Must agree...
One of my best shavers as well
Enjoy..!! [emoji106]
