    Default Tanifuji custom restore

    The razor's new owner requested wood scales in dark tones, so we picked stabilized, black dyed tiger maple.
    Scales finished in shellack, with white acrylic wedge, ss washers and brass pins.
    Blade was almost perfect but had a few spots that took some buffing to get out.
    One of my all time favorite shavers.

    Very nice, sir!

    This is the first time I have seen tiger maple done in black. Very cool.
