Thread: Hogg & Jameson

I just had to have this one. The heavy near wedge blade has a some pitting, but the scales are near perfect. Rather then try to sand out the pitting, I think I may just dip the blade to remove the blackening.

I'm a sucker for a smiling irish/french point. Great razor !!!

chrome safe metal polishes would be your best bet so long as there is no rust.

Ok, I'll give hand polishing a try first

That's a great looking blade - and don't forget that leaving it as-is with regard to the pitting is an option too. It is well away from the edge and so won't have an effect on your shave, so it's really an aesthetic decision.

Beautiful lines on that one, and ivory scales, too. Nice.

No one asked, but I would probably leave that one as is.

Any ideas on the age? Looks like a nice piece!

I'm not going to mess with it much. No idea on the age, there is very little info on Hogg & Jameson. Perhaps mid 1800s.

The scales sealed the deal for me. I don't think anybody else realized what they were.

The name screams Sheffield, but the razor dont?

That is what I would have guessed based on the tail and scales (though, I am far from an expert). Thanks for sharing!
