Always struck me as a condescending post. Maybe it’s just me.

Girls call me Makaluod
Certainly wasn't meant to be condescending. Just an honest observation as I enjoy witnessing different SRs that I have not seen before.

Sorry, just YOU going through another members” modest collection “,,, as Compared to what, yours? So extensive? Elitist?
It just struck me as
Pretentious. And you’re just being honest about assessing another members “ modest” collection.
If they have one razor. It’s good to me.
Just not a good phrasing I guess.

Appears to be ivory? Simple yet classic. And horizontal sanding marks or is it the photo? For some reason I like this razor.
Well ain’t that a news flash.
Yep, Ivory. I have to dig out the razor and take another look at it. It's one that I kind of forgot I had until I found this picture on the hard drive.
The interesting thing is it says Cheapside, rather than Sheffield. Cheapside is in inner London, so Benetfink & Co would be a retailer.
Benetfink & Co - Regent Antiques
Described themselves as ‘furnishing ironmongers’ and had large premises on Cheapside in London from 1845 to 1907. They sold a very large range of...
I suspect the sanding marks are just left from where I knocked off some active rust before putting it away in the "to do" pile, to clean up better when I get to it.

Well thank you. I appreciate it . As well as a classically beautiful razor.
Just says “Ahhh”
Dig it out and enjoy it. No polish , no fru-fru. Just hone it. So nice.
Nothing “ Cheapside” about it.
Why is it some just talk to you?
This one does for me.
Also nice to know I’m not the only one who can say ,, “ I forgot I had this” or, “ dayum, look what I just found”
That only means you have the right amount of razors!
Kudos.

Very interesting. Ich have a straight razor made by Samuel Hoppe and Sons from around 1850-1870 with the same scales and the same blade shape.
Do you have any further information about your straight razor?

Sorry , no, that’s all I’ve got
Very beautiful scale work, hand made carving I guess.
What are the shiny dots made of in the two patterns? Metal glued on?
The guy that did the peening and pinning of this model must have felt some serious pressure not breaking the scales.

In transit. My first Bengall - Cast Steel.
Looks all original to my eyes. Needs some love and care.

It’s called pinning. Usually done with brass or silver rod . Ivory is quite durable and lends itself to carving. Here are some I’ve done with scrimshaw. I also did the spine work.

Just incredible work.
Why I don't believe you.
It's probably done by the aliens.
Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful and a joy to watch.
