    Default Simple Green

    Finished a restoration and scaled up one of my own Super Cub razors today.The restored blade is a AW Wadsworth &Sons.It had some rotten celluloid scales .I discovered it is a magnetic blade while working on it.Both honed up and ready for a shave.

    Those scales look great, well done. Can I ask where you got the pin washers? It's a nice look.

    Hey AKwildman, beautiful job on that set. I have a couple of DDs I want to do in that particular clear green . Where did you get the material? I found some cheap clip boards at Office Depot I am thinking of using. Hope mine turn out half as nice as yours.

    I just unpinned a Morley and was thinking about some green scales. And look at that, those are the exact ones. I like your style!

    I've used bead covers before.
    You can find some really neat designs in them. Some will flatten out, others brake... But thats ok, their fairly cheep.

    You can get them at Jo Ann fabrics, if you have one near you.

    Hmmm, does that make you fabulously chintzy?
