    Love the way it looks. What thickness of brass do you use and what adhesive do you use?

    Thickness of brass is 0,5mm. Adhesive is a 2-component epoxy resin adhesive. Shock-resistant and resistant to age and humidity.

    THe scales shape and sanding looks great. I don't much care for the screws although I can see the advantage of being able to take them apart for cleaning etc.

    I posted something similar in black horn and copper liners not so long ago. I just use a medium CA glue for the liners - it seems to work OK but I'll bear the epoxy in mind for the future. One that did not work for me is Gorilla glue - maybe I needed to roughen the contact surfaces more.

    Nice job on the scales but the screws take a bit of getting used to compared to traditional peened pins.

    I know that screws are a little bit controversial among straight razor aficionados because they are not so traditional. But I like the practical advantages and also the look of them. And in my opinion straight razors can tolerate a little bit progress.
