Great Grandfather's Razor

[Hawkeye5]

I've had this razor for decades, but one of the scales was broken so I've never used it. Purchased from a hardware store in my home town sometime before the 20th century, it is a 9/16th Pequot made in Germany. It may have started as a 5/8ths as there is quite a bit of hone wear. Now it is rescaled in Bocote and cleaned up by Max over on SRP, and on its way back to me. I should be able to use her for my next Saturday shave. Just had to show the lady off in her new scales :biggrin:

Max does beautiful work! Make sure we get pics when you get it back and do let us know how she shaves!

Mike, just to tempt you take a look at my newly rescaled in Cocabolo 6/8ths Super Gnome Extra.
