Glen Does a Coti Job if You Ask Him..

Billy..

 

I agree!

 

Nice score! I remember @Keithmax had an easy aces he piffed awhile back.
I have a coti edge on my Dovo Bismarck. Makes for a really smooth, comfortable edge.

 

I’m embarrassed..... I’m still “New” to the forum.... what is Glen’s Username?

I picked up this "McPherson Bros. Famous Frass Razor, The Barber's Favourite Registered" SR. Made by McPherson Brothers Cutlers Glasgow. (Maybe @Billyfergie may know a wee something about this brand?). It had some incredible rust on the pivot and spine. Took longer than usual to clean it up. The scales are cracked but very stable, so I decided to leave them alone for now. The rust did a fair bit of pitting and staining. I wish I took a before and after shot. I couldn't find any information on this SR.

 

It really looks good, Rusty! St least the crack on the scales “ain’t on the business end”!!

 

I have Came Across a Few Glasgow Cutler Blades..McPherson Bros were a Chartered Retail Outlet & the Bigger Players had their Name Stamped on the Tang..It Would Apear that this One like Many was Made in Solingen Germany..They Also Sold Sheffield Blades Under their Name a Well..To Muddy the Waters..Some of the Solingen Blades were Made in Sheffield & Ground in Solingen..

Two French Razors just arrived from France today. They were a pain to get, because I had to convert US Dollars to Euros, and mail it to the seller. I know, Big No No, but it worked this time. He even mail back the change, in Euros. My daughter now has some other foreign money to play with.

Top- Unknown French Tip Razor. It's a chunky wedge, approx 11/16-12/16 inch. It's horn scales will need a little work, but it seems to be a solid razor. 4,90 Euros
Bottom- LE SERRE FILE LERESCHE Fabricant ST JULIEN DU SAULT. I bought this one, because it takes replaceable blades that I won in another auction. 4,90 Euros

7/8 Robert Williams Monkey Tail I will have this beauty on Friday .It has wonderful Spine work.

 

Thanks for the info Billy. Very helpful.

 

Must feed the SRAD Monster at least once a week . Will post Shave report this weekend ,I am curious how the Williams preforms compared to my Korat and RigaRazor ,

 

Good memory! I had an Easy Aces, great steel, it takes a fantastic edge. It was just smaller and lighter than I prefer.

@Heljestrand23 enjoy!

 

I picked up this JR Torrey some time ago. It was in sad shape when I found it in the wild. I wish I took a before picture...I didn't realize it would turn out so nice. Sorry for the lousy picture. I really must build some kind of picture box with proper lighting.

 

Looks nice!

 

Got this Joseph Rogers & Sons NON - XLL 6/8th Sheffield 1/4 Hollow Yesterday from EBay...It has Horn Scales & Rather Minty..Advertised as Shave Ready & its Blunter than Blunt..I Got it at a Good Price for Turning Over & Never Expected Nothin Else..A Beautiful Razor it is..

This Seller Sold a Lot of Razors Over the Last Few Days & if they are All Honed Like this Folks are in For a Real Ruff Ride..
