    Not bad for your second attempt at restoration.

    To me these just scream ivory micarta with an inlay transfer though

    Very good job, especially for only a second attempt. It's too bad the original scales were broken up as they looked well matched with the blade. Is there any chance to transfer the decoration on the old scales to the new? If possible I think that'd be a nice touch. Either way you have a great set of razors there.

    I am scratching my head trying to figure out how an entire set of scales was broken. Jealous wife maybe? Wednesday and Saturday must have been his business trip days.lol

    I agree, I want to do an inlay at some point (another excuse to make some scales and learn something new). I'm learning and didn't/don't know how.

    Thanks!

    The inlays will come off easy in near boiling water or acetone will dissolve celluloid.
