6/8 Sprock in ivory scales
I bought this razor several months ago from another member through the classifieds here, and was finally able to send her off to Gssixgun for a full vintage restore. Here's what she looked like before (and by the way, I really stink at photographing razors up close . . .)
And here she is after Glen worked his magic (and thanks to Glen for these photos):

I shaved it this morning before I sent her out, pretty impressive edge, a Hamburg Germany made razor, I know Solingen is the "Name" but I tell ya I have been pretty happy with most all the Hamburg stamped razors I have shaved...

She's a GREAT shaver--very smooth and comfortable. I haven't seen many Sprocks out there, but if you see one in decent condition IMHO she'd be worth having.
