Erusta - Boehlersteel - 6/8 ~ Paua

This is a scale job I did for one of our members.
It's a razor that belonged to his father's grandfather. I have to admit that the razor for being that old (18??) looked pretty much immaculate with just a few minor residual stains.
It's a gorgeous quality 6/8 piece of steel. It used to be a spike point but the point has been muted and slightly rounded throughout the razor's honing career and usage.
Frank decided on the acrylic Paua scales. I know... Those are getting pretty popular around here... :D

I used a transparent acrylic wedge and the usual nickel silver and brass pins and washers.

Pics don't even do them justice, really.

That's a job his great grand dad would be proud of. I'm sure he'll enjoy it.

That looks amazing! So, is that a faithful restoration to bring the razor back up to spec, or do you think the original may have been more subdued?:D
It jumps off the screen! I want one now.

Max - Consistency must be your middle name. Love that Paua. :tu

Always good to come across the ones that are looked after and near original size even if they're someone else's. :D

you never cease to impress man. that spacer sets the end off just right. gotta love that man.

Total sweetness :)

The clear spacers are a wicked touch. Easy to make and shape and buff, then they turn out beautiful.

Another fantastic job Max! :rock: Still love seeing your work. :nj
