    Default Dovo Inox 9/16 in faux MOP

    Here is a razor that came to me for a face lift... I forgot to take a side shot of "before"... but..these inox scales are about the worst looking scales in existence. Here are a couple "before" pics...with the factory scales and terrible pin job... man.. I think China can do better than this.





    Soo. .the blade has a nice goldwash, so, I decided to run with the silver/gold theme. Silver washers, brass pins, black acrylic wedge with aluminum and brass liners

    Awesome!

    I love the detail on the wedge! How did you scoop it out to a "V" like that? Or is that a trade secret...? Hehe!

    Beautiful. Love how the toe shape on the scales matches the french point on the blade. Great semblance with matching color and feel.

    Sweet!!
    I love how you did the wedge. It's like the bowtie on a tux.
    The perfect finishing touch.

    Love the MOP & wedge. VAST improvement on original .
