Thread: What are you working on?

That's a beauty, RezDog. The blade looks excellent and the scales look great from here. Thanks for posting about the struggles, too. Good to know it happens to not just me!

Nice Pitchford Shaun!
Looks it's age but ready to work.

Looks super, Rez!

Very nice work Rez! Satin finish looks very cool, Tuzi congratulation to leave all that patina on that rattler!

Do you think these look similar ?

I dunno, but that pair of purple-tipped Ellicottvilles look plenty sharp!

Well Tom, I'm sure you recognize the Monkhouse, and I picked up the top flight lately. The grind on these razors are extremely thin, and shave beautifully.
Made in New York, I been told by a museum curator that the men who was making razors for Burrell is still alive at 90 plus years old and quite a character.

Need to get his name. Interview if possible.
This may be the master-grinder from Germany who is responsible for all of the oldies and came to US with Carl in the late 30's. As I understand, Carl was a salesman. Someone made consistent grinds for a very long time. Beginning in Germany, sold by PJM in the states. Then, in the late 30's, made from San Francisco to Ellicottville and Allegheny New York for the duration.

Possibly the same person, I was told that if you have a razor from Burrell he had his hands on it. Will eventually have more information and hopefully talk to him.

Hey are ver similar looking. I cannot tell exactly by the pictures, but the spine/tip looks like it may be different. Someone had to make the razors for PJM. I doubt they all came from Germany. It is completely plausible.
