Spotted this pair of Joseph Rodgers from the 1830s and couldn't resist despite them being pricy. They're basically as curved as the R. Saito razors.

They look to be in amazing condition. Congratulations!
I wouldn't believe it unless I'd seen them. Very nice.
They've been reground, but given the complexity of the shape, it's not too poorly done. I'd rather have them in original condition, but I'm not complaining too much...Quote:

I already had a George Johnson from approximately the same period that is curved as well, though some of the extremeness might have been lost in its regrind:

Wow! Funky stuff. I like em. Have you shaved with them yet? They sure look cool but I have never shaved with one that curvy.
Not yet - first I have to hone them, which will be a bit different than the usual work...
Lucky you ! :-)
I forgot to bid on those ones. Bought a SK2 to myself right after that as a consolation (and rescaling it with ironwood to stay in the mood)
