Thread: Christmas in May

Seemed like it anyway. Had a relapse of RAD. Made a trade bought two off the bay.


Part of the trade was hones,


And I got CRAD too but not bad enough to keep it. LOL Got a buddy that loves these silly little things.


All of the razors need TLC.
The Mysterious Mr Packwood's SILVER STEEL is interesting.


Joseph Rodgers & Sons "Military Razor" has ivory scales and the strap at the toe appears to be sterling. The backside scale is cracked and that was the repair.


In addition to the two above, there is a Mappin & Webb, a Schatt & Morgan, and a Taylor's "eye witness" in that bunch.

I LOVE rusty stuff!

I LOVE making it pretty and usable even more.

Wow! You are not kidding. Lots of goodies here. Boy that Joseph Rodgers & Sons is a neat oldie. I cant tell for sure from the photo, but wonder if the scales might bone. Bone or ivory, either way, nice bunch. Best Regards Kenny

They're ivory and pretty grubby at the moment.

Even better ! Hope to see some pic on it when you get it shined up. Looks like a great shaver. Kenny

I'll keep you posted. The bevel on it is obscene at the moment. Doesn't look like the heel area was ever sharpened. Bevel starts real narrow at the heel and just grows and grows toward the toe. It'll be interesting to hone. LOL

Very interested in seeing these straights all shined up! Have fun with the restorations.
