George Butler & Co.

Another nice razor that came out well.
George Butler & Co.
Trinity Works Sheffield
engraved blade, black micarta scales
I'm interested to see how it shaves.

Joseph Rodgers & Sons

I finished up a pair of Joseph Rodgers & Sons razors.
One I've had hanging around for a while, the other I bought last week.
1) Joseph Rodgers with engraved blade.
I only restored the blade, the scales happen to be in great condition. No reason to change them out.
2) Joseph Rodgers. At some point I believe someone cut a thumb-notch (they did a good job)
custom black horn scales.
Both are 6/8 blades

Dubl Duck

Well for a while now I've had a Dubl Duck that had a chip at the tip of the blade. Since it had the chip it just went into to a pile of  "I'll get to it sometime" razors. Well, that sometime was this week end. I reground the front of the blade and dressed it in white marble scales. It didn't come out to bad, plus she's a pretty good shave too.
