Thread: Where to buy scales?

I've asked this question before but had little help. Can someone point me to a place to find scales please! Thanks so much

Are you looking for Custom Scales or Prefab?

Try maggard razors..google search.. Cutting edge razor if there still around..also search ebay

Im not sure which is which. Im new to straight razor shaving. Got a few vintage straights that shave great and barely have any rust but the scales suck.

Custom Scales are made for the specific razor or design. Prefab ones are generic, like these here.

Are the scales cracked warped.? If not a lot of them can just be cleaned up.. And will start to look good again.. I usually use blue magic to polish and clean my blades as well as my scales.. Custom scales can get costly..and regarding custom and prefab exactly what catrentshaving said..

The problem is the scales are loose. They have a bit or warping to them

very light taps on the pivot pin can tighten that up. Warped scales are tricky and you might want to go with new. Contact Brad as suggested by Catsrentshaving Restoration Supplies | Maggard Razors - Straight Razor Restoration, Custom Scales and Wet Shaving Products He does both

Before you break out the scales make sure you check the blade as sometimes the scales are warped because the blade is also.

Awesome. If I were to purchase a few sets of these scales (Restoration Supplies | Maggard Razors - Straight Razor Restoration, Custom Scales and Wet Shaving Products) would i have everything i need to learn to rescale?
