Beautiful razor. Love the diamond point & the scales are excellent.

However, and I really really don't mean to be nitpicky, but the word "Tortuous" means immensely complex, intricate, difficult, painful or excruciating...

I think you mean "Tortoise".

I only point it out because it took me a good minute to figure out that the scales, rather than being so ugly they were extremely painful for you to look at, were made of tortoise shell.

Ha! Darn spell checker. I must have fat fingered it and it got auto corrected and I never caught it.

Slick article, and quite old.

Honed up the blade last night. Pretty good shave, still needs a few passes on the stone but I would say it is 98% there.

Beautiful restoration.

What do you make of the rounded over tip -- original or an old repair?

Original, the blade is full length.

By far the best set of scales you've ever done. great shape and fantastic material. why can I never find scales like that, they're gorgeous and I need them on a blade I have.
