Thread: Frederick Reynolds 5/8 Faux Frameback / Rattler Restore

I finished this one up. It's a 5/8 Frederick Reynolds faux frameback / rattler grind. The blade cleaned up well, but it was in good shape to start. The scales are kirinite faux tortoiseshell. If anybody has a recommendation for a better faux tortoiseshell acrylic stock, please let me know! I think Karlj had inquired too a while back. I like the coloring in the kirinite, but the patterning is a bit angular for tortoiseshell. It was a fun little restoration. Hope you all like!

Lovely blade.
Good job.

The next blade in my queue is a Reynolds like that one almost exactly. I can only hope mine turns out half as good! Both your scales and blade turned out really sweet.

Thank you. Besides looks, the two that I've done have both been really great shavers!
