    I've always liked the look of the acrylic or lexan scales; some razors just seem to look best in it. Yours looks very nice wih the new scales.

    I have a Temperite wedge that had clear celluloid scales, but were rotting from age -- rust all over the blade where the scales covered it. I hope to be able to replace them with a set of scales like yours for the same look/effect.

    Those are beautiful! If you want to achieve a high gloss on the clear scales, use some Flitz. It'll really bring it to a high gloss polish!

    Both beautiful razors but I love the shark on that Berg's scales.
    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
