    I have a matched pair of razors that I posted for sale. Bottom line is they were a great set before and maybe could be again. Somebody tried to grind them and made a mess of them. They are in (I think) baleen scales w/ MOP inlay. They seem to be a sheffield blade but the only marking is 'J. Mann' on the side of the blade, probably the bloke that had them made. They have a good heft and Don Addleman sanded them back to a mirror finish but lost the bevel. He and Lynn honed them back to usefulness but the hone wear is terribly uneven. One blade will shave, the other will but only about half the blade is shave ready. Don didn't do a regrind on the blades because it would destroy the engraving. However, having the blades reground with a clean bevel is probably more worthwhile. If I could get them in good shape, I would love to keep them. Could I interest you in this project? I can send a few photos to illustrate the set..
