Got this in the mail today. A gorgeous Original Schulze SR. I've seen a couple online with similar blades but none with these scales. I love it. It's in quite good shape I say. A little bit of tlc and it should really shine.
So, this chunky fellow arrived for me today. A nice John Heiffor Sheffield razor that's just got a little bit of hollow to it, it's pretty close to a wedge, but not quite.
Couldn't resist taping the back of it and spending a good deal of time sharpening it up.. One layer of tape on the spine
and it took a little effort, but it's nice and sharp now.
I tried to find this thread before posting this in it's own thread, but I could not find it.
I got this razor recently. Perfect throwback to the era of my birth and early childhood. This will go into my rotation, it has been retired long enough.
I picked this up a few days ago, It is known as C-MON Microtome for preparing histology slides. It is full hollow ground on facing side, and the rear is flat or full wedge.
I do not know how this was intended to be beveled. The back side (flat) does have a small bevel on it. I am thinking about honing it up and shaving with it as is. Perhaps 2 to 3 layers of tape on the back and one on the front. Then see how it works. It almost makes sense to me if it were intended to be a chisel grind with a bevel on the front only.
I would appreciate any information anyone has on these, and if you know of any that are in shaving use.
