    Default Japanese SRC restore

    This one got a full treatment.
    The blade had some corrosion spotting that I cleaned up. The original scales had a chip right behind the wedge , it was too big to try and remove without making the scales look weird. I made a new set contoured them and transferred the overlay. For the scales I used Lava Flow kirinite, red acrylic wedge, brass pins and stainless washers.

    That's a very nice razor and some really beautiful scales. You are doing some amazing things with kirinite. I've been trying to resist but I can see now that I have to try it. Sigh, here comes yet another addiction.

    What a great combination--those scales fit the razor perfectly. I really like this restore.

    Good looking razor Stefan. Do you know what steel they use ?

    Oz I do not know what steel was used, but it honed super easy and is one of those "magic" edges that some razors take.

    Very nice Stefan, those colours and that squared wedge end on the scales very much suit the vintage Japanese razor.
