Tally Ho! 8/8 in Horn, Brass, and more Horn

Rescale and blade restore for a customer. Blade still has a bit of pitting...

Scales are translucent buffalo horn, wedge is black buffalo horn, everything buffed to mirror, spent a lot of time getting nice round profiles on everything and making sure I had a great fitting wedge.

1/16 brass rod, 3/32 brass tube for large pivot hole, brass lined wedge.

Classy razor! Gotta hone it up and send it out!

That is classic! Thumb up!

superb workmanship

I do believe that is one of the prettiest sets of horn scales I have seen yet. That is a really sexy razor. Fabulous job!

Damn, that is so pretty I may have just licked my screen without realizing I was doing it.

About the most beautiful horn scales I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice work!

Love the horn and the work on the wedge....Great job on the blade too! :tu

Great looking razor and I will also comment on the fantastic looking scales.

Ditto on the scales & nice job on the blade :nj

Pure class!

Nice lined wedge too!

So that's a buffing wheel on the blade? What kind of buffer and what paste progression?

I am getting envious of these buffers - the hand sanding and dremel (or hand polishing) is just not getting past a certain level for me.

Absolutely Stunning Sir!
I like it, I like it A LOT!

Absolutely gorgeous!

I'm speachless, simply amazing Wow

Stellar work! The brass on wedge is awesome contrast to the wedge itself.

The work on the blade is one thing, but those scales, & the wedge, absolutely awesome!!!

Wow, beautiful work all round. Blade looks great, scales are stunning and that lined wedge is all class.

What a razor! Nice work restoring it to glory. :tu

I feel the RAD right now. :)

That looks insane! Great work

Wow. Really beautiful. I love seeing your restores. Great job, scales, spacers, wedge, oh my....

Wow............just Wow the blade itself is a beauty but those scales are something else.

Thanks for the comments guys.

My life has been pretty crazy and it feels good to get one done.. it has been a couple weeks since I posted in the gallery. LOL.

My son started hockey... work has been crazy, and I've been goofing around with a new car... hopefully getting back to razors now!!

Nice work Brad. The horn fits that blade perfect. I like the double pin at the wedge.

Exquisite Brad. :bow You've out done yourself with this one! A very elegant piece in every respect!

That looks amazing!! Good stuff!

Those scales are simply gorgeous.

now that is a dandy! fine job

I really, absolutely, cannot wait to hold that razor in all its glory. It's unbelievable how perfectly that fits what I asked for. You hit it bang on the head! Thanks so so much I couldn't ask for better!

I WANT ONE!!! very nice or as we say up here in the northeast WICKED ****A

Absolutely one of the nicest I've seen. The scales, the lined wedge, the polish all ooze sophistication.

That has to be one of the most impressive set of Horn scales I've seen! I really like the double pin job on the nose of the scales. Thats a first for me. Do you mind if I use your idea on a restore? Thanks for sharing such inspiring work!

Sure rrp1501, feel free to use it -- I'm sure I'm not the first.

khaos actually wanted these scales to resemble one I did about 6 weeks ago...except he wanted a few changes (wedge material, etc).

Here is the thread with a similar design scales:

I just sold that Elliot, and I'm sad to see it leave my rotation :)

Fantastic looking razor. Nicely done on the restoration, you definitely brought it back to life in a big way!
