Default The Robeson's

I'm still fond of the hammered tang Robesons. I now have 4 different models of Robeson Suredge with hammered tangs. I can't seem to pass up these great shavers.

I'll post some pics when I get beck from vacation on the models I have. Hope to see some cool ones I havent seen when I get back

I'm getting into woodworking with hand tools, so I may end up making a box set for it out of some hardwoods I save from the scrap bin. Oh that should be interesting

This is a Robeson I picked up a few weeks ago on the bst thread. (Thanks DrFred!) Dad fell in love with it when I got it, but later decided he didn't need to start a new collection, so I wound up with it back in my herd.

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!!!!!!

One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. 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.

I have a 3 or 4 Robeson razors, This is my favorite. I took this in to my barbershop the other day and the barbers could hardly wait to try it out. A couple of guys in the the chairs were lucky enough to have this used for their trims.

Hey,

This hammered tang Robeson just came in the mail fresh from ebay.




The handle is busted, so it will go on the rescale list. It's extremely sharp!

Here's my first hammered tang Robeson. I still need to hone it up, as you can see in one of the pics. I managed to preserve the "razor that fits your face", but it was hard to get a photo of it!

Edit: it honed up like a dream, I shouldn't be surprised.
