    Talking Frederick Reynolds with Paua/Acrylic Scales

    Here is my Frederick Reynolds in Paua scales. This isn't 100% Paua though, it is an acrylic backing, thin Paua veneer (real shell) then another clear acrylic layer on top. I got it as a sample and wanted to see if I liked it better than the 100% real Paua. I don't. It looks great and has good depth, but there's something about a full slab of shell that can't be matched. Anyway, tapered G10 spacer et al. This one will probably be for sale. Any interested parties? Boosh!

    Really stunning!

    I like the scales shape. Am I the only one who sees a whale?

    Yeah, the material looks good, but I'll take your word on the "feel" difference; I don't have shell scales (yet ) on any of my razors. The shape is unorthodox, though. Not sure if I'd like them. WHat do they look like in an actual grip? What's the balance like?
