    Default Engles with matching Brush

    Another restorer sent me this razor pretty much as you see it in the first photo. I guess he knew I had a thing for fancy bolsters and I could do something with it. I took the parts , cleaned them up and made a set of translucent blue scales thinking they would go nicely with the bolsters. While I was at it I made up a brush. It appears darker only because it's so thick compared to the scales.
    Sanded up the blade to a brushed finish and finished it off with brass pins and small collars. The ivory wedge matches the brush as well.

    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

    Very pretty work. What is the material used in the scales?
