Are those scales made from the acryllic pen blanks you can get at Lee Valley? I was wondering whether those blanks were big enough to use, some of the wood they have for them is interesting to me. I think you did an excellent job on the blade, it mirroriffic.

lol...yes RobertH that is exactly what they are...they are JUST big enough depending on the razor and how much "end" you want past the blade. I just wish they had more color selection...I do have one of the orange "cracked ice" blanks sitting at home too just waiting for the right blade to come to me...lol. And thanks for your comments

Well that's good to know. I don't know if I'm into the acryllic patterns as much but definitely some of the wood ones they have are great.

I have a nice amboyna burl blank from them at home too

Their wood blanks are actually about an inch longer than the acryllics so you'd have more than enough

I was actually wondering where I would be able to find a nice assortment of blanks around edmonton. Thanks for idea!

both your blade and scales came out looking just awesome. Did you say this was your first restore?

Eagerly awaiting more of your work and pics!

Very nice looking restoration. I like the scales, and the contrasting washer/pins.

Great looking razor! The mirror finish is just

If you posted a closeup picture of the tang I could also try to make out the writing on there, since I'm russian and who knows, maybe my messed up eyes will give me a different perspective.
