I just got mine and love it ... what do you guys have? (Credit for the picture goes to gssixgun)

Here's my little Reynolds thanks to Gary (Traveller) who did his usual outstanding job on polishing, scales and whatever magic tricks he had to use to turn a sows ear into a silk purse. This has to be my very favorite razor right now, it shaves like a dream.

Ah, I was waiting for a Frederick Reynolds group. I already posted this in the Wedgie club, but I gotta post it here! (And the other one is an old school version of the one Kaptain Zero posted! I love 'em both!!)

I have two for the Resto Bench as soon as I get moved....don't look like much now, but I'm sure they will clean up nice!

I guess I will post my pictures here too. I just posted these in the "Butcher Shop'. My newest Reynolds to go with another just like it except this is a Diamond Steel and the other is an India Steel. They are going to be veeeery nice!

Heres mine... one of my best shavers. I got this blade at a swap meet...in the box...but with broken scales. $1. This also represents my first (terrible) rescale attempt...but it works.

Nice looking blade. My compliments to gssixgun as well, for the great shot!

This was my Christmas present from my wife via Traveller (Gary Alfonso). Love it and it ties as my best shaver.

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!!!!!!

Here's what I'm pretty sure is a Reynolds. I had her up in the general razor section asking for help IDind her, but I guess I won't know for sure till I clean her up.

Here is the post from the other thread, though I put it large images cause I seem to recall someone wanted razor porn...

She caught my eye because with the V.R. Sheffield stamping, and also because she was only $3. I figured it must be a decent blade, and it should be a good first resto as well. The lady at the store, as she was handing it to me, asked if I'd noticed that the scales were cracked and the blade was rusted. I said "Of course I did, but it's only $3!" I didn't ask her if she'd noticed the stamps on the tang or the round point on a wedge, because I didn't want to be rude and I'm quite sure she knew nothing about razors.

I wonder if that maker is "Richards"

littlesilverbladefromwale · 07-07-2008, 05:24 PM

I can read reynolds. But P Reynolds.?

holli4pirating · 07-07-2008, 06:22 PM

The theory was that the first letter is a "R", not "P.", and the etching that connects the "P" to the "." was worn away. Of course, that could be wrong... Maybe it is "P."

hoglahoo · 07-07-2008, 06:25 PM

that still doesn't explain the other P in front of the R
and what is that crown logo? doesn't look like any Reynolds I have seen, though I have not seen many

I thought that the second "visible" letter was an "E" but I could be wrong.

As for the logo, I'm pretty sure the V.R. indicates that the razor was made during the reign of Queen Victoria, and I've seen that crown along with the V.R. on a few razors by different makers, so I'm assuming they go together.

Oh, I see it now. Yes the spacing seems to favor "Reynolds" and it does look like R E

OK, mine was restored and posted a few pictures in the Resto section (see here).
It's a 11/16 Wedge (or a near-wedge to be more exact). Has a lovely notch and beautiful mottled horn scales.
It's a wonderful shaver.
