M. Hunter & Son 5/8 Extra Hollow Ground

 I got this M. Hunter & Son 5/8 Extra Hollow Ground razor a number of years ago. It had no scales at the time, and I tried cleaning it up as best as I could. The edge looks in pretty good shape. I ordered some scales from Maggard Razors and re-scaled a couple of razors, but set this one aside. Yesterday, I was cleaning out things and ran across the razor. Today, I pinned the scales on the razor.

I hope to clean the blade up a bit more and then get a good shaving edge on it. I really would like to shave with it. It is a cool looking blade. The logo on the blade is a horn.

The logo on the blade is a horn bugle.
