Thread: rescale dovo silver steel.. totally unnecessary but a huge improvement

So I couldn't resist and decided to try rescaling without using my right hand (i have a recurring case of "trigger finger" from years of abuse from playing instruments)... I taped up my index finger to immobilize it and used all power tools and sanded only with my left hand... My right hand doesn't ache at all... i should do everything with my left hand from here on out because this was a seem-less rescale... did it in a record 2 hours from drawing board sketches to pics

With all the talk to the sacriledge of rescaling old razors with modern designs in the other forum i decided to rescale my youngest razor with a modern squared scale design... bought this dovo silver steel (had ebony wood scales) from a member over at the other forums for a good price because it had only been used maybe once... It's my favorite shaver and until recently the only "new" razor I've owned... I loved the razor but hated the plain jane/thick and clunky scales...

Honey/black horn transition with MOP kirinite wedge and all brass hardware to match the gold wash

I defy DOVO to make better looking scales than this
