Filarmonica #13 - Doble Temple - Green Abalonecrylic

The Spanish Filarmonica lover and Paua/Abalonecrylic lover that I am, I couldn't resist but have a big smile on my face when I was asked to rescale this Doble Temple in green Abalone-acrylic.

This is also a NOS Fil 13 Doble Temple so there really wasn't any work to be done on the blade. The original scales were the light gray plastic ones.

The scales were put together with a mix of nickel silver rods, brass and SS washers. Tapered Jade Ghost.

The Fil 13 Doble temple must be one of the smoothest straight shaving razors I own. (together with my Fil 14 EPBD)

Enjoy and a have a great WK!.

Nice work as always Max....

You do beautiful work!

Mad Max does it again! That's a stunning rescale Max. Don't show CarrieM or I'll be rescaling all of her blades in this green Abalone-acrylic.

Your work is just incredible...'Let me count the ways...'
Your 'eye' for matching scales to blade is unmatched!

Hi. My name is ursus and I'm a abaloneholic (at least soon if you continue to post pictures like this :)) Also the very thin pivot point of the scales is fabulous. Awesome work, mate.

That is beautiful!

(boring)

Yes yes, another Maximillian Masterpiece, another gem another jewel another modern day treasure to behold (blah blah blah), surely he gets bored with these exquisite creations of his, churning them out of his cauldron as easy as others would make baloney sandwiches. He IS the 'creme de la creme' the 'cat's meow' the 'Chief Potentate' the 'sage of the age' when it comes to restoration and custom rescaling work he IS 'Der Weltmeister'. He hovers on his higher celestial plain than we mere mortals, omnipotently commanding the elements of the world of straight razors, he is 'The One' he is the 'Best of the Best',

and that is why ...

HE MUST BE DESTROYED!

;)

(just kiddin' M, you know I luv yuh man, awesome drool inducing workmanship as always)

:bow

Is that specially treated abalone shell, or some other product. We used to be able to take abalone here in Southern California, and I have a few nice shells. I still find a few emptys. If I could make my razor look like that....... Heres the last shell I found. Its not suited for scales, but it might make an interesting piece of jewelry.

Dear Max,

I have been looking at your razors and they are so beautiful! I want to learn the craft of restoring razors and scales. I am particularly interested to learn the techniques for removing the scratches and pits from a blade, as well as the equipment needed to do this, as well as how to rescale or repair scales. Anything you can tell me would be welcome.

John

Absolutely gorgeous works of art.. very artistic, meticulous yet creative....
