Thread: Vintage "Custom Built" Heirloom C. Jackson - Rebuilt

This one was a little different, I have had several razors cross the bench that have vintage "Custom" scales but most all of them have been un-workable... This one from Lance was an exception!!!

Here is a before pic, the scales were made from some type of horn which I had to break down and recondition, sand, and buff back to what I think was the original luster.





Make: Charles Jackson, Sheaffield

Size: 6/8

Steel: Carbon, Near Mirror buffing

Grind: Near Wedge

Scales: Unknown Horn

Finish: Neatsfoot Oil then buffed

Wedge: Lead

Pins: Brass

Washers: Brass

Hones: Norton 1-4-8, Select Coticule Finsher











Thanks for looking
g

That is a very nice save Glen

The white tips on the scales make me think of a fox

It looks like you almost got rid of the hone wear. That's a sweet looking razor.

Glen,
Thanks for bringing an old family razor back to beautiful condition, I am really glad you were able to get the scales off and restore them. I am really looking forward to being able to shave with this Razor.

It just looks that way These old Wedges will go right back, unless you Re-grind them or hone with tape or both With that amout of heavy buffing it does make it better but we can't add steel back YET

Glen,
Did you have to use much tape to hone it?

Very nice once again Glen. Another beaut brought back to life

Really nice work again Glen, it looks great.

Awesome, as you know I love these old Wedge razors...the scales are a great save as well. The owner should be proud!
