Geneva Vanadium Steel
Realised the Geneva razors in my collection were nil
so this is a work horse for moi 
Didn't like the original colour of the scales much but I wanted the replacements to be somewhat close. The brown swirls help tone down the orange.
Great shave, as to be expected from razors beginning with the 7th letter
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

Very nicely done! You are right, the swirls make all the difference. Great restore!

You have a good eye. The blade and the scales are looking good.

Extremely well done Oz. Those scales are a very nice substitute, satin blade finish and clean peen work.

I must say the scales look very nice. The subtle swirls really take out the best in the color of the scales. And +1 on those being nice shavers. Great job again OZ.
Having Fun Shaving
