Thread: 2 Raggs from Sheffield, oh my...

Hi Gents,

Here's a recent mal call, two straight from John & Willam Ragg ! The first one :




Very interesting, the spacer continues underneath the razor blade to end up at the shoulder, all in one piece of metal... The blade is near mint, a few passes on the strop and the shave was awesome !



The second Ragg is a "Napoleon", and I must say, quite the looker :





Back is shiny, blade has a satin effect, with a flourish decor made by acid engraving. Curved tang shows a tiny droplet, which I love. There were some dents on the edge, so I sent it to a fellow member for restoration. And it got back yesterday :



Pics make it look like a butter knife, but it's actually VERY thick, I could hammer nails with it !

Tried it this morning, very nice ! SOTD picture will come tomorrow. With better pictures as well, it deserves it. :P

Incredible razors without a doubt, that Napoleon is simply stunning, beautifully shaped razor and looks like a solid wedge...did you get these at a Flea Market or from eBay?

None of the above ^^ A good hunter doesn't reveal his mushroom spot

Nice looking razor, esp the Napoleon.

Stunning razors

Those are cool, especially the Napoleon. You have a good hunting spot!

Wow, I like.

Thank you gents

These appear to be part of the collection that is being sold on EBay - I bid on a couple myself but was way out. There are some very fine examples and many of them were reported as unused.

I got lucky in finding those at the same source as this ebay seller's, they were one of the very few he didn't take apparently ! I only had the budget for this lot, and I'm very happy
