    Default Curtin & Clark custom restore

    This Curtin & Clark came to me for new set of clothes and blade restore.
    I found a very nice thin and straight piece of horn that I thinned even more to match the slenderness of the blade. I used Ivory acrylic for the wedge, with brass pins and stainless washers. As Always I did add a small tweak to the scale shape to give the restore a bit of uniqueness.
    The blade was not in too bad shape, it had almost no hone wear, it feels really nice in hand too. I think this one came out really classy looking.

    Looks great. I really like the scales with the squared ends. The white spacer adds a real nice accent.

    Actually Yes! Very good close shave, The friction on the scales are perfect and gives me excellent control. I have several razors, and this one is my favorite. The only problem I am having is I keep trying to cut off that little flap on my ear that covers the ear hole. No matter how careful I am..
