    Default Helj in Ivory Micarta

    I got this little 4/8ths from my Mom for Christmas (I have a backlog of pictures to post). I didn't have to do anything with the blade, but the scales were cheap plastic and really crooked.

    Scales are ivory micarta, I reused the original wedge, brass rod with the original washers. Great little shaver.

    the scales are made of ivory paper micarta. I used the originals as a template for the shape. They worked out really good.

    Very nice rescale. Very classic look fits the razor nicely. Nice job on the pinning and all other aspects of the rescale! Keep them coming!
