Jolly Rodgers
In the wake of all the new brotherhoods, there is one glaring omission: Joseph Rodgers.
JR is my favorite razor brand, and I hereby create the brotherhood named 'Jolly Rodgers'
No pics atm. will post some later.

I agree Bruno - Love JRs. I have a few, but only have pics of my wedges. Matching pair of 6/8s with ivory scales:

10/8 Joseph Rodgers
This is one of my favorite razors. Shaves nice though it is a handful. I'm looking for that perfect piece of wood to rescale this bad boy.

But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you're going to wind up with an ear full of cider.

Here's my 7/8 Jolly Rodgers with a new set of scales from Traveller. One of my top 3 shavers.

I don't have a picture either my JR is my ugliest razor, its scales are cracked and past polishing, but I am unwilling to take this razor out of the rotation lang enough to either buy or build another set more fitting for such a fine shaver.

J Rogers Wedge
This is one that I've restored lately. It is an heirloom for a client. It is such a nice razor I thought should be listed in this archive.

Beautiful Ken, just beautiful! 
If you had to hazard a guess, what would you say that scale material is?

It's horn. It was in rough shape but soaking it in Neatsfoot Oil brought it back.
It's waxed with carnuba.

Joseph Rodgers 7 day set of 1875
   
The most beautifull J. Rodgers razors that I have.
Saturday and Sunday are with hard rubber and not ivory scales.
I like that the razors are dated.

come on gentlemen step right up, step right up. A troubling situation has arrived in the razor club and that is the use of thumbnail pictures. I know that some of you old timers still remember when the razor clubs were a thing of beauty! with large glossy pictures of razors and we viewed until our hearts content. but those days are through it would seem. I beseech all the members of the razor clubs to take the poll in the general section and vote to restore large pictures to our beloved razor clubs. It is up to us gent and together we can restore these clubs to there former glory!!!!!!
