Phill, very good choice on that blade. Bob Allman makes really great stuff. I've seen many of the customs: RW, Livi, Chandler, Earl, Ellis,... and the Allman sure has his own style just like all the other custom makers have their own style.

You should be able to kick some nice looking scales based on the curves of that razor,

As to the bolsters and inlay from that DD. Acetone is your friend. Soak and see the plastic melt. Watch out for the acetone fumes. It's a nasty smell.

Any thoughts on the scale shape Max, my mind is not doing me so well right now....... Never had to do scales for a blade like this!

Just a quick message about Bob Allman and his razors. Bob is a first class guy. He is not a big talker but his work speaks for itself. I had the pleasure of hanging out with him making razors from start to finish. I have two custom razors that he allowed me to design and pretty much build with his guidance.

These two razors are the best shavers I own and have shaved with Henckels, Dovo, Zowada, W&B, Puma, DD, and many others. These 2 razors take a better edge and hold that edge better than any above mentioned razors. No expert here, just my opinion and maybe a little bias.

I concur. And he's as humble as they come. My kind a guy.
