And here is a little razor porn.. a cool little... errr uhhh razor of sorts that came in a lot recently. The manufacturer is Kippax. I know little of the manufacturer....
A very early corn cutter??? A SR for people with very small hands??? lol Anybody see one of these before? Of course we've all seen the little corn cutter blades.. but a stub-tail corn cutter?
The other blade is a Gray Cast Steel. How old? What do you guys think? Late 17s very early 18s?
You guys saw it the other night, just wanted to give a better pic and give a size comparison...
Hey Dr. Sharptonn, you dont mind morphing this thread into Butchered, random project, show and tell and I was thinking about moving my broken blade rescue mission in.... lmao one big happy family!!!!! :rofl2:
Oh man!!! Ive been wanting a Dorko 444 for for for ever!!!!!!!Quote:

Okay was just doing some reading, Steve you wrote a post about Kippax, you have one still? Robert Kippax died in 1775 and his son followed his fathers footsteps but there is no evidence that he ever made razors with his name alone on them, he went into buisiness with Thomas Nowill and their business was called Nowill & Kippax.
So it is probable that this little beauty is from 1775 or before!
Me neither [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]Quote:

There is still a line barely visible but you have to be looking for it real closely.

You can either leave 'em like they are or I can work 'em a little more or you can work 'em. I started with 800 grit then went to 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000, 2500 & 3000 grit & a final hand polish with Mothers. I would have used Maas but it is more gritty & I didn't want to wear that badge anymore than it is.
Wow steve, those look awesome.Quote:

They look sweet Steve! Nice smooth work. Appreciate you unpinning them as well.
It's the only way to go with a new install.
Gonna be Purdy!
