Stop me! Before I stripe again!

I restored an old Geneva and a Top Flight a while back in vintage striped scales, so now I have just completed a few more to keep them company in some somewhat 'different' stripes. A nice Geneva blade in the black and white striped scales and an old Ellicotteville Blackie CMon in the red, white, and blue. Pinned the Geneva collarless as his brother was done, the CMon in vintage silver collars as his Ellicotteville brother was pinned.
Pretty 'striped out' now (they make me dizzy!) so I will spare you guys any more stripes for now! :)

The Blackie blade was too thin and short for it's intended scales, so shortening at the pivot and sanding down the wedge was necessary. Needed a good fit! ;)

Attachment 186648

They turned out pretty good!

I have not honed the Geneva yet, but the Blackie shaves amazingly! :y

Very nice. Did you laminate different colors to get the stripes?

Reminds me of Dazzle Camo http://assets2.thecreatorsproject.co...5e505f5da9.jpg and just as hard on the eyes too. Be difficult to use hung over for sure without wearing sunglasses.

Well-Said, Bill! I think that adequately describes them! More 'vintage' hot rod than anything, I suppose. ;)

I did have some sort of reaction :borg: The red white and blue I picture on my shelf no problem. The black and white looks great but I picture myself getting hypnotized while shaving and waking up with blood all over the place. As in " your getting sleepier ,,,,,,,and sleepier,,,,,and zzzzzz.

Fantastic work !

That all depends on if the stripes are vertical, horizontal stripes on the other hand make you look more rotund...unless you're a skinny blade. :)
