I picked this one up a couple weeks ago. A real monster at 1" wide. Wish i had a scale so i knew how much it weighed but its heeaavy. Just finished honing it up last night. Think it turned out pretty good but im gonna have to wait a few days before i can try it out. Nice set of horn handles to top it all off.

Nice razor, UMC.
Although my Joseph Rodgers seems sharp enough to shave with I think I'll forgo the anxiety.
Mine has horn handles too, but it doesn't compare to your fine razor.
Thanks.

Hey Joe, nice razor you have there yourself. Rodgers made some great knives and razors. Those horn handles are bueatiful. I love seeing horn with some color contrast like on those.

My JR's are some of the smoothest shavers I own.
That 8/8 is a GREAT catch!
Post some better pics of it.
I'd like to have one like that in my pile of big iron.
Those monsters are actually nice to shave with. Just let the razor do the work. Takes a bit of finesse under your nose but other than that, they're really nice.
