    Default Drew in Ivory

    This Drew is the Friday razor from a set. The blade was in relatively decent condition with just a light bit of pitting. Unfortunately the original Ivory scales were cracked as well as they allowed the blade's edge to protrude . When I made the new scales I followed the original shape but made adjustments to fix this. Also, by request, kept them a bit fuller than usual and this allowed me to radius the surface.
    No washers, brass pins and a black horn wedge completed it.

    Very nice, classic style scales and super polish on the blade. Very clean.
    Good work.

    Nice work, I prefer the new scales than the old ones. Nice round ones. Very clean polish.

    Thanks. Yes, I too like the look of the new scales. Nothing wrong with the typical flat ones but these are a nice diversion .

    If they turn out as nice as this one, you are in for a real treat.

    Thanks for reviving this blade for me Mark.
