Straight Of The Day

[Gairdner]

Classic Sheffield steel for Graeme up today, Joseph Rodgers ivory choppers. Soap and AS were Harris Arlington lathered with a Rooney Victorian. Good stuff!

Now that is just sheer filth! You naughty man.

I will learn this art and will admire forever, razors such as is this and all the other beautiful examples of Sheffield razor making history. Brands such as Wade & Butcher, Joseph Rodgers & Sons, Taylor’s Eye Witness, George Wostenholm IXL, J. Nowill & Son, KROPP, Frederick Reynolds and many more.

I have three: a 5/8” Marsh Bros. Pond Works ‘ROXO’ with black plastic-like scales; a 6/8” J. Nowill & Son with lovely ivorine scales and just recently, a 13/16” KROPP with black plastic-like scales landed, most fortuitously in my lap due to a truly humbling act of generosity by a forum member.

All three require honing and I need to watch videos on shaving and stropping as well as making a strop but I WILL at some point, post a proper SotD entry here.
