    Thumbs up Sheffield Shavers

    I've been working up the edge on a C X Lockwood Pampa and it's almost done, but there's no place for it in the clubs so it's time that we had a new Razor Club and here it is. This is a place for all those excellent Sheffield blades out there that don't fit in to the other clubs and I'm starting with the second most used blade in my rotation, 7/8 Wm. Greaves and Sons notch point wedge with Kingwood scales (thanks Jason). It's a kicker of a shave too!


    So who else is in?

    PS Here's the clubhouse: Straight Razor Place Forums - Sheffield Shavers

    and here are your banners.

    Fredrick's 6/8ths quarter hollow barber notch.
    Restored and rescaled in frosted acrylic translucent scales by Bill Ellis.
    Just a killer shaver. Photo is Bill's.

    "Brookes&Crookes".
    The company existed 1858-1947 in Sheffield.
    Blade 7/8, ivory scales.
    Unfortunately, it was not possible to clean a rust on the shank, without changing the form of the shank.
    But shaver really nice.

    This little wedgey fellow is my favourite at the moment.

    Default BJ Eyre Challenge Razor

    Here's a BJ Eyre Challenge razor that I restored with purpleheart scales and a smoke-colored acrylic wedge (notch added by me too).

    Default New Reynolds

    I got this Reynolds today. It's a nice razor and I love the scales on it. I have another coming from Manah that has the same scales but a large wedge blade. This thing took a great edge!
