This Hoshitonbo is my latest restoration. The original scale broke while I was taking the razor apart so I made new set with orange pearl acrylic.
I transferred the overlay and used brass pins and stainless washers.
The blade had spotting so I removed most of it while I finished it to high polish.

Excellance! What a pleasure to look at. Can only imagine the shave would be superb also. Thanks for the pics.
Those shave awesome. All Japanese straights that I have tried in that style blade were superb shavers.Quote:

Very nice Stefan and the scales and colour definitely suit that great Japanese blade, my favourite shaver they take a fantastic edge and are the smoothest of shavers.
I agree on the edge and how they shave. I also really like Eiko, they feel different though.Quote:

Nice work, stunning razor!
Super Job! That color works perfectly on that razor! :tu
I wish I had good faux tortoise acrylic to use. The orange is even more beautiful in person.Quote:

Acetone softens celluloid and makes the inlay removal easy.Quote:
