Thread: Easy Resto/Rescale

I recently bought this Pilot razor and the back scale flew apart during my first shave with it. There was some corrosion around the pivot hole and part of the tang. I sanded lightly and buffed it so that none of the corrosion is noticeable. Then I installed faux ivory Thiers Issard scales with brass pins, nylon washers inside and brass and stainless washers outside.

I think it turned out OK and with a proper stropping, it shaves very nicely.
I didn't like the triangular pointed end of the scales so I rounded off the pivot end.
