The original honey horn scales were broken and delaminated so I replaced them.

That's a rare find indeed. Of all the razor hunting that I have done over the years I can honestly say that I've never seen a razor by that maker.
As usual, a beautiful restoration too!

A beauty for sure. Great job on the restore. I hope to have the tools and ability to do such a fine job some day.

Nice work. That front scale has some deep streaking in it. I bet it is a real looker in hand. Some day...

There is some brown color in the back scale too but not as much. They are from the same blank. The scales look much better in hand than in the pictures.

I have a hard time getting the beauty of horn to show up in my pictures. Perhaps if they were lit from underneath, on some fancy LED light box. I have more important restoration skills to work out before I concern myself too much with developing my photography.

Keep going with your carving and no one will notice your photography!

Very nice restoration, scales looks great, that said the blade is way to shiny for my taste and a lot of the original blade definition is gone, certainly not the way it looked coming out of the factory. JMHO.

Some like them shiny. Some, notsomuch.
One thing is for certain, you have done a wonderful, shiny job, Karl!
Beautiful razor, that! The history is a pleasant bonus, as-always!
