Thread: Restoring a filarmonica Double temple no 14 steps...

Before:





Blade restore:

Didn't get all the pitting of the brand...it would have come out and lost the mark...but the rest cleaned up quite nicely imo...thinking about the scale material and design...i'm going with 3/8 ss pivots on this one...

I was thinking of keeping the original scales but they're pritty beat up, the mark is almost gone and have some fine cracks...

Any sygestionson scale color/material and design are welcomed.

TY for watching.

Great job. Looks like a brand new razor. As for the scales I always have a hard time deciding what to use. The razor usually lets me know what it wants and sometimes a razor will sit on the sideline for awhile till I get something that looks right, but with that beauty I would have to say something like horn, bone or ivory. I don't think plastics would do it justice. Just my opinion though.

To me some blades just beg for streaked horn, and this is one of them. Streaked horn with a interesting wedge would be my suggestion.

Stick with the white theme. Get a nice set of bone scales on there. BTW, good job on that blade.

Bone.. I like the white theme as well...

Blade looks awesome

Upon further reflection... I hadn't thought about bone - that could work nicely.
