Thread: 24 K Gold Scales for straight razors

I made 5 sets of these the other day,2 are already on members razors,but someone asked me to post some pictures so here they are.The swirl is mixed 24K gold powder,very finely milled(like talcum powder) I add it to the base casting,and swirle it.This is very little amount of gold,maybe a few cents only.These are not finished,but will fit any size razor up to 9/8.They will look better when they are fit,and finish polished,they are also much prettier in person.The materials are also impervious to most solvents and disenfectants so you can soak your razors in Clippercide overnight to disenfect,and prevent rust,and it will not damage the scales like it will bone,or wood .Best Regards GAry

Neat Gary! Now try adding a little silver and a little copper for a tri- color affect. I think that would really be nice also.

I have some milled copper,it is kind of red,it looks like red gold.Silver might look nice,I will try it when it gets cooler[.Ill send you a set if they turn out.Regards GaryQUOTE=JMS;442670]Neat Gary!

You are far too kind Sir!

They are incredible now and if they look even better finished and in person I sure don't know what to say.

Wow Gary, those are just gorgeous...what a great idea!

very nice one. I love to see people's creativity this is just excellent.

No don't mix silver and copper mix white gold and red and rose gold and blue gold too.

WOW very nice they are going to pop in the light.!
