Ralf Aust Re-scale

Ralf Aust Rescaled in Sea & Sand acrylic @ .110" thickness Wedge is Black acrylic and is .045" at the end..
The acrylic was cut from a block so that the two sides are as close to Bookmatched as possible..
Pins are Brass, tied together with stacked Brass and SS lock washers, internal Brass bearing washers give the razor a smooth action..
Honed on Chosera 1-5-10 then finished on a Blue-Green Escher to a silky smooth edge..
Been doing quite a few re-scales on these Aust razors which tells me people must really like the shaves...

Thanks for looking :)

She's pretty! :tu

Looks great Glen.alot nicer than O.E.M.

Very nice! They are getting popular and the new ones have the advantage of a better taper of the spine side to side and a greater angle of the spine to the blade.. My early Aust was blocky and the pivot pin was higher which made wider scales necessary to protect the heel. It still shaves a treat though.

Another lucky customer. I love the matched look and those colors are perfect. Of course the craftsmanship is the icing on the cake.

Great looking blade Glen! Best Regards Ken

We all have come to "expect" your work to be superb but really time after time after time your craftsmanship is something to behold. Thanks for sharing, it's always a treat.

That's a stunning looking razor my friend! Beautiful...

My Friend,

I'd need to rent or purchase a snow plow truck to get your place to shake your hand and tell you how nice this razor looks!!

Since I can't:
:bow :tu:bow :tu :bow : :tu

Fantastic work as always!

Nice looking work as usual Glen. Always cool to see some newer production razors getting new skins :)

As always Glen, your work is the gold standard that keeps many of us trying harder.

Just the last of your GREAT jobs !!
