NOS Blue Bell #99 in Tigereye Acrylic
I picked up this untouched Panamex "Blue Bell #99" it is out of Toronto Canada made in Germany and it has ZERO hone wear...
I really liked the worked spine on it, so I bought even though the scales were a plain jane Solingen set ...
I re-scaled it in Tigereye Acrylic, with all brass hardware, and 3 pins, used a black acrylic wedge and the same for the 3rd pin post...
Got just a touch wild on the wedge end to give it some swoop...

Really Nice!
Scales seem to work great with the blade.

You did that razor justice Glen. The scales are very nice and give it a great look. The pinning is awesome as usual and even the anvil looks great!!!!!!!!
I am disappointed in the fact there is no pic showing the razor's balance. BUMMER!!!Having Fun Shaving

Sorry Coach
I always think that people get sick of seeing them, so I try not to do them all the time....

Very nice Glen, you definitely have the eye. Does it shave as well as it looks?

Cool find !
Nice customising & knockout scale material.
Looks better than a new 'un G
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

Wow, that looks amazing. I really like the acrylic. It's almost like a blurred tortoise shell. Very very nice. Smooth like blue bell ice cream. Ha
