    Default Another near wedge Brookes and Crookes

    Could not resist this near wedge, a little 11/16 Brookes and Crookes in bone, I think, scales. Just gave it a quick clean and hone so we will see how she shaves in the morning.

    Bone Scales Are More And More Appealing To Me As Time Goes On.... They Just Look "Clean"

    Nothing not to like there. Bone, horn, or ivory are my preference. No worries over cell rot and a handy size in a wedge. The meat choppers are cool to shave with once in a while but the smaller blades are my preference for daily drivers. Nice catch Bob.

    Nice catch Bob, a classic looking razor, with natural scale, a near wedge is always nice also, Enjoy that silent shaver!

    Thanks for the comments guys. This is the first bone scaled razor I have and I think it is bone because I see no Schreger lines in them. The scales are otherwise as thin as my ivory scaled razor and both the bone and ivory scales have a hairline crack at the wedge pin. As a bonus it shaved well this morning but I think I will try and refine the edge a bit more.
