    RyX DoH!

    Any idea when it was produced? The "Made by Experts in USA, Not made in Germany" suggests a war time date.

    Yes the way I understand that stamp is it was roughly used between 1938 and 1946

    Two Swedish Framebacks, not sure if you are all aware that there are actually four different styles of "Frameback" razors but these represent two of them

    On the left we have a J. Engstrom true "Frame"back I measure it at 6/8
    Looks like somebody in the distant past replaced the back scale ..

    The edge is in great shape no dings chip or bad spot and has a nice even bevel,

    On the right we have a CW Dhalgren I measure at just shy of 6/8
    This is a Faux Frameback the blade and tang are one piece of steel and the Spine is Tubular Brass and pressed into place
    Again the bevel is clean even and shows no issues

    Neither of these is "Shave Ready" to my standards, they do both, however, pass the Bevel set tests

    I will offer these two ways

    $60 for both plus Shipping as they sit, which should be perfect for a person that hones their own razors or is learning to hone.
    I totally believe these can be brought to shave ready pretty easily..

    If you are a Non-Honer / Beginner I will sell them Honed & Stropped to a True Shave ready for $80 plus shipping

    Post or PM here

    GemStar Customs and SnailForge Collaboration - Again
    Many of the members here will remember over the years Bruno and I working together across the big pond doing Straight Razor Collaborations..

    Well we decided to do it again this year

    Bruno@SnailForge in Belgium did the Steel (W2 Carbon) work along with the Heat Treat and Temper on these 6 razors. They are now heading across the ocean here to North Idaho

    Once they arrive Gemstar Customs will do final polish, and offer limited customizations to finish up the razors in Horn, Bone, Kirinite / Acrylic or G10 scales.

    The razors are 13/16 -7/8 size final size after honing

    The price will be $350 usd plus shipping for standard builds ie: 2 pins and most shapes


    Once the razors are here in hand I will finalize orders and take a small materials deposit on each one..


    These are cross listed on GemStar and SnailForge FB pages

    They will be FCFS

    Only Two of these are left now if you are interested PM here or email me at gssixgun@gemstarcustoms.com

    The two with the shorter tails are still available

    All six blanks on this run have been spoken for,,,

    However I think Bruno and I might do something together again later this year, these collaborations are fun and they get the creative juice flowing
