Thank You, Rez! In appreciation of your comments, I will share a pic of your favorite brand before going to snooze...

Just wrapped up a slow day at work pinning my other 6 F Herders...... Tedious stuff. Recalled and used lots of tricks learned previously!
All went a bit nice with exception of 2.....Had one with a slight tang issue. Fixed that with a different set of scales it liked better and some oversized pivot holes and a bit of grinding on the inside of the tang where it was hitting. The big high-riding #30 at the right was a bear. Ground really thin, it wanted to poke-out the bottom.
Wound-up using a set I thought I had ruined by over-grinding the wedge. Had it apart 10 times, I think! All are closing nicely.
Anyway, a few will need some black epoxy for little gaps on the wedge end where a ham-fisted guy could not get it perfect.

Never tried packing in some bog dust and dribbling in CA. Think that will work, outback?

It works for me, Tom. At least u can polish CA, once cured.

While Im waiting on scales in oil, I started on the last of MikeTs razors he sent a Gray, I assume to be from late1700- early 1800s, but haven't done a history search.

Only got as far as disassembly, and a scrubbin with a degreaser. Should be dry and ready for the iron, and sand paper, after work today.

I missed your question earlier Tom. The Case says
Case Bros
Little Valley NY
On the Back
Tested XX

That old stubtail is in exceptional condition Mike and Mike.
(Low soft whistle)

Very little hone wear. Exceptional condition, it is.

That's a beautiful old blade, Mike. And Tom, you are the undisputed King of the 7-Day Set, and the Hero of the Herders!

I'm thinking about working on a 7-Day set of Ern Ators myself (my favorite razor). They would all be Ators; each would go into a different scale material. I've only got 2 so far-time to start haunting ebay again.

Simply amazing! Seriously, those 7 days sets are over the top, and the box with inlaid bone all the way around!

Sets of razors, and awesome boxes, that's what I love.
Some day I will have some cool sets and make some cool boxes for them.
Until then please keep showing these sets of inspiration!


Edit: Dude. The inlaid bone box (no pun intended), sweet!!!
