For my birthday this year I received a bunch of acrylic for rescales from CarrieM and JrJoeD and a nice Robeson from a friend that needed rescaling. Last weekend Jr and I worked the new scales. After working with wood for so long the acrylic was a pleasure to work with. We lightly buffed the blade to preserve the etching and retain the patina. This is a sweet shaver and will always hold a special place in our collection. Hope you enjoy the pics.
It looks even better in person. :) Got to take a gander at it yesterday. It's a beauty.
Looks great, Joed! How fun to have a razor made from components given to you by people you care about!
looking great.
I was not expecting translucent acrylic to look so good.
I've got a Robeson Shuredge "My Captain" model in the original red plastic scales. This is one of their last models, and has a chrome-plated blade. The translucent red and chrome is a really pretty combination.
Quite a stunner Joed. Nice job !
Very nice work, friend.
Very nice! :tu
Nice all the way around!! Those scales turned out nicely :tu
Very nice. Robesons are great shavers and that's a beauty.
