    Restoring a 6/8 Sheffield Blade The Celebrated American Razor Philadelphia Work.

    Never heard of the maker S.E.T. REALY.EGR.U&F UNIVERSALLY SHEFFIELD

    Cleaned blade up than went to the hones .Finished her on one of my J-Nat stones with DMT Slurry

    Will clean up and lightly coat the pressed leather scales with neatsfoot oil .After I do a test shave .

    Love this razor! They sure did want the wedge to stay in there.

    Thanks Tom .With the letters worn I was confused .This razor shaves as good as my Mappin and Webbs.Will most likely earn a place in my rotation .
    Wonder who the actual maker was ?

    It looks pristine and those scales are amazingly preserved. Would love to hold a razor like that one. Congratulations!

    This is all I have. No history. I will say, that yours does look very nice, and is more than likely reground. Not a bad thing. I have a few that have are reground, and they perform great.

    @M14Shooter .
    If you look carefully at the pics, of my old razor, it reads:"Set Ready For Use, And Universally Approved".
    I hope this makes more sense.
    BTW, your razor looks very nice.
