Beautiful and puts me in the Halloween spirit
The (lack of) pinning leaves very clean lines
-edit-
WOW. I made the above comment after viewing on the small screen of my phone. It looked great in that small screen. Seeing on full size monitor now is a joy. Very nice.

WOW

Is that your razor or are you just restoring it for someone. Either way you should give that thing a test run and see how it preforms.

Beautiful work, and I love the subtle structure of those micarta scales.

Nice.. not too keen on the color of the scales but that is more personal preference.. they are a little too bright for my taste. The razor itself looks great.

Awesome job. Love the no pin front end, and the blade looks so shiny it seems wet.

For the most part I have conservative tastes, but I just love the cheerfulness that your bright orange scales bring to that razor.

Nice. Looks almost identical to the Dutch Rattler I restored a year or so ago for Ivo.

Well, I thought it was, but, got the bad news from the owner today --- the epoxy didn't survive the Postal service...

So, the question is, do I retry a different type of glue, or smack a pin in that puppy.......which I really don't want to do.....plus if i try a different kind of glue, I get to keep it for a week to do some "stress testing"...hahaha :tu

Personally I would pin it, unless I was sure that the glue would not deteriorate over time and crumblem, and the scale material would not age over time and lose bonding. Razors are built to last, so the scales should be able to survive as well. At least for a couple of decades.

Sorry the epoxy didn't hold. It looks real nice.

Sorry to revive a dead thread.. I have a Dutch Rattler on it's way to me at the moment, looks 9/8+ - can't wait to get restoring - thanks for yet more inspiration Brad!
