Ask me about shaving naked!
It’s Frameback Black Friday, time for a new razor! This rattler came in a few days ago, another badly photographed eBay razor that no one was interested in except me. But apparently it’s NOS, never been used and in it’s original coffin. The horn scales are in good shape for around 175 years old, and the two slight mist spots cleaned up without pitting.
Soap and AS were Floris Elite and the Brush a M&F Finest

Nice score, Steve! I looked at it and did not realize it was in as good shape as it (obviously) is.
Same here, lol.

Well it was a gamble, and we rarely post our failures, lol. But here’s a tip for those looking at bad eBay images. Download or screenshot them then adjust them in an image editor. The seller of the Crookes images were mostly just badly underexposed. One I cranked up the light I could tell that there was no deep pitting and more importantly, no cracks in the blade. I could also tell that the scales seemed to be in decent shape. What I couldn’t tell was if there was delamination of the horn (a tiny bit but mostly fixed with neatsfoot oil) or how much hone wear there was (none actually).
Very nice and a great find
C.W. Dahlgren, no-name boar, Haverford and Clubman Special Reserve. Happy Friday.

Gauthier rattler from Pont St Esprit, a souvenir from a past trip, 10€ at a brocante, but the scales were toast. No problem though @Doc226 fixed me up with some Turkish burl scales. Soap was ABC new version lathered with a SOC and a dab of Cade AS balm finished off Friday’s shave.
C.W. Dahlgren, Maggard synth, and Port-au-Prince. I decided the grassy vetiver wasn't enough so I finished with some Clubman S.R.
Happy Friday!

J. Engstrom, some vetiver goodness, and Clubman Special Reserve to finish (not pictured, that mason jar is my coffee vessel).
I have a neat one coming…but the seller sent it early last week from the other side of the country via first class mail! Uggghhhh!
Perhaps next Friday!
