New Frameback Aquisition
Just won this frameback on ebay.
Marsh Brothers & Co.
Pond Works
Sheffield
with Crown over V R
1828-1852
Just needed good cleaning and honing. 3 X 7/8
Original scales with domed washers
Took her for a test shave this morning. Smooth and close. Was going to sell her but after that shave she will replace another razor in my rotation.

Lovely razor! Enjoy it in good health. I think 75% of my razor collection consists of razors I was going to sell but ended up keeping.

I really like the shave from a frameback and have three in my rotation; Joseph Rodgers & Sons, William Greaves & Sons and FW Soderen.

That's a beauty, Leonard! Reminds me a little of the Wosty frameback I bought from you (the one I was touching up in the HOTD video). I don't blame you for keeping that one!
