    Default A few recent acquisitions

    Haven't posted for quite some time here on SRP, so I thought I'd show a few of my more recent acquisitions.

    From left to right are a Joseph Rodgers and Sons full hollow, a Jaques LeCoultre frame back, a Union Cutlery Spike and a Kenmasa Sanzu kamisori. All shave wonderfully, especially the kamisori.

    Welcome back. Those look like good razors.

    It’s amazing how we get to use century old razors, as long as we can sharpen them up. I Haven’t had a chance to try a frameback yet. Do they feel different?

    Thank you! To me, frame backs feel very much like a wedge.

    Do you think the Jo Rogers might be a regrind. I have one that I’m sure is a regrind and was masterfully done. Also the LeCoultre appears to have a knurled thumb screw, making it quite a bit older. It’s a nice bunch. I have no idea who the kami makers are or were, but I do know the few I have used are pretty good shaves.

    I was thinking that it was a regrind as well as I haven't seen too many hollow ground ones out there that weren't reground or heavily advertised on the blade as being hollow ground. Not sure the age on the LeCoultre, just know that it was once part of a seven day set as the top of the frame is marked "Thursday." The kami was a pleasant surprise. I had never heard of the maker but I made an inebriated purchase of it on the bay. I dont regret the purchase at all.

    Good to see you back Theseus-I was wondering where you had disappeared to.

    Thank you! Life just got really busy for a time between changing careers and having a baby.
