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

Disclaimer:Had to delete/clone out heavy dust on this last pic... I should really dust better... that's why it looks a little wierd

Nice looking scales!

Very nice. I like the corners on the scales. It complements the lines of the blade itself. Nice choice.

Very Nice indeed

Beautiful work.

Nice work. I think it looks fantastic.

Excellent! Looks fantastic!

For what it's worth, I've had trigger finger surgery on three fingers on my right hand - basically a two to three week recovery, and no problems. In and out of day surgery unit in a couple of hours. Strongly recommend it, if it's messing up your life and work.
Nice razor, too. I am loving honey horn.

Very nice indeed, great choice!

a definite improvement! really nice.
