FS: JRodgers wedge + pink ivory

[izlat]

PENDING - THANKS!

OK, where do I start?

• history: old / early blade design; look at the shape, especially the fat tang + tail
• very heavy for it's 6/8 size - serious wedge
• beautiful Spanish point
• jimps on both top + bottom - this isn't too common on these old blades
• great shape, just some relatively wide hone wear but that's normal for such a wedge
• Robert Williams custom scales: pink ivory (second most expensive wood after snakewood, afaik) brass wedge, need I add adjustable pins! - nice silvery metal so they don't clash with the blade
• seeing how busy Rober is these days, this is your best chance to get some of his work quickly
• shave-ready - really great shaver

In light of generally increasing prices and looking at what's going on the BST forum, I'll ask for $150. If you can afford it - it's absolutely worth it.

Now here's the kicker: if someone really loves it but honestly cannot afford it - I'll pass it along at my cost, which was just about $100 shipped.

There you have it

THanks for looking (photo from today's shave)

LOL! So, I finally hit first, but I'm committed to the Le Grelot, so no-can-do. Sigh.

Heh - the Grelot is a very nice razor, I love the style... and it has, what was it, pink ivory scales?

This is an entirely different animal, though - much older, on the other side of the big pond, I'm sure much heavier...

Cheers
