Here are three razors Max is sending my way.
The first is my Great Grandfather's razor purchased in a store that was in my home town just before the turn of the century as far as I can determine from reading. It is a 9/16ths Pequot made in Germany and had a broken scale. The original scales were wood grain and Max matched them well with Bocote. Before and after photos.
Second is a 6/8ths Le Grelot I picked up on ebay. The original white scales had been exposed to heat. Black Linen Micarta replacement scales. Before and after photos.
Third is a TI 6/8ths Super Gnome Extra. I just could not abide the oversize plastic crap scales TI uses on these fine razors. Cocabolo replacement scales.
I can't wait to get these back! Thanks Max!!
