    Default First restoration

    I bought an Ebay razor and unpinned it, cleaned it up, put Ebony scales on it, and honed it to shave ready +.

    It it is a Signal razor made by John Sellers & Sons in Sheffield, England around 1890-1900. The blade only measures 2 1/2 inches instead of 3 and it reminds me of a Mustang the way it looks. An advertisement for Signal razors states "Signal razors are made from a superior quality of steel" and it is by far the sharpest and smoothest razor I have. I love the razor and had fun making it all shiny and new looking. Much cheaper and more fun with a cooler history than buying brand new. I have to thank Phrank for the encouragement to buy off ebay instead of new. Hopefully I will be satisfied for a while now

    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one
