Pleasantly surprised to find this one actually shave ready. I bought it already restored. I'm thinking though that it would look nicer with a matte finish to the blade. Maybe the first time it goes to Glen for honing...

I like that whole setup, Steve. The Petal Pusher Fancies a terrific soap.

 

French Fau Frame Back straight razor with horn scales.

 

Just got the o'l Herskovitz all polished up & shiny! Freshened up the edge = a very nice shave.

 

Is the worked spine and scales original or reworked? Very different look.

As far as I can tell, the worked spine is from Boker. I purchased this on ebay from a seller in Canada last year. I had been looking for a Dovo Flowing, but I could not find one that I could afford. This razor popped up on ebay and I jumped on it with both feet. I have been seeing more of these worked spine blades with different scales on ebay lately. The prices are higher than I would expect though. I will keep my eye on the Bokers. They hone up nicely, have a good weight balance and give me a great shave.
