Love those faux framebacks. You have a good one to start with. Be sure to preserve the decorative washers if you take it apart.
In a word.... "Beautiful"
They are great razors and a worthwhile project.
What a beauty! That's in my mind the perfect restore project that I'm sure will be gorgeous when finished.
I think the rattler grind is my favorite but I tend to bounce back and forth on favorites.. definitely always drawn to these big Frederick Reynolds rattlers.
Looking forward to seeing the end results, I'm sure you will love the shave!
One of my all-time favorites!
Love the hump, the older ones have.

Sure wished ya had the original scales. :boohoo:
They are fantastic razors that I feel are on the same level as Wade & Butcher.
I am fortunate enough to own three.
Take your time restoring and honing and you have a treasure.
Congratulations and enjoy.

Yeah, I've got the exact same humpback rattler as that one on the bottom right, Mike-I still want to see how Mr.Z's turns out!
Ill post pics as I go, should be here sometime this week. :rofl2:Quote:

I'll do my best, if not, I think I have a set of Rosette's.
Scales n collars have went to the trash, they were someone's attempt at new scales, with some homemade collars.
So a new set of scales of Zebrawood have been made in the shape of the originals, and first coat of Tru Oil.
