My Latest SRAD Acquisitions

I picked up these blades (one marked Wm Elliott & Co & the other marked Slack & Grinold, Bath Works, Sheffield) for less than $10 each. I called Bob Keyes at bobsrazors.com and sent the blades to him. He checked them out and didn't feel they were worth the investment of a full restoration. We decided on a "light" restoration with some simple scales for each. Basically, I just wanted to get a servicable, shave-ready razor. I got the razors back and needless to say, I was very impressed with Bob's "light" restoration work on them. I used the Wm Elliott & Co this a.m. and got a very nice shave. Also, I must thank Bob as the total turnaround time was less than a week from my mailing the razors to him until I received them back.

Looks very nice . Good work.

Nice work!

Those cleaned up very nicely, where were they from originally?

Looks very nice and classic. Great restores.

Man, I love the profile on that Black & Grinold. No kidding on that "light" resto.

I just found Bob's site this weekend, after Painter mentioned him, he seems to do outstanding work.
