    Default 11/16 #16 Antelope, Griffon Cutlery Works

    Another razor that I got from a very nice lady that is letting me go through her late husbands collection. It had rust on the tang and tail and some on the blade but cleaned up great. This one I took apart and sanded the scales out to 2000 grit, cleaned and polished the razor and used stainless washers and nickle silver pins with brass washers for bearing inside scales. I set the bevel on my 1K king and finished on the coti thats in the picture and it is a great shaver.

    Man that is one smooth looking razor! It reminds me of those old sleek tuxedo wearing guys from the 1920's.... You are going to have to wear a smoking jacket when you shave with that thing.

    I thought the same thing after I got it back together, I really liked the black scales and polished blade. I have seen a couple razors here that guys have done and lined the inside of the scales with white which I really thought looked great with the black scales.

    Very nice razor. If I could find myself a blade in a shape like that with no etchings, I'd be all over it. I have such a soft spot for shoulderless...
