Under the right circumstances, that is a completely logical thing to do. I bought a razor at an antique mall to teach myself restoration & such. The scales were an obvious homemade set of unknown material somewhere between plastic, wood, and stabilized cardboard (if there is such a thing). I was still educating myself, and after more research on the ERN blade, I figured out that another razor for sale in the same booth had the scales that belonged to the ERN. So a couple weeks later, I went back & bought a blade from a reputable maker & a chip in it that was 0.7-1.0mm, and the wrong scales.
I did, however, pass on the SR that had bakelite (supposedly) scales of the artsy naked lady variety, with a blade that had rust eating its way out of whatever metal it was plated with.
I am all over those scales, man! :roflmao
I'm not sure what you did engine but I get the feelin g I did it too but I'm not sure what it was.
Bowdins Wedge Straight Razor Hand Made | eBay
Honed to death
Whahahaha, it's not even worth paying for the shipping.
Ther's almost no razor left.
But in all fairness, if a razor is an instrument being used, instead of collected, this one has given all she had.
Sold for $175. The buyer was happy with the price. As it was restored by a professional he knew the razor he saw in the pictures was the best it would ever look (it actually looks better in real life than in the photos - I didn't play with the lighting or angles - it was very much a what you see is what you get listing)... he knew what he was getting for the price... and would shave well as it was honed by someone who knew how to hone a razor. 'nough said.
