I love these razor, you have some great shaves coming your way.

Scales are polished..

And the "wedge" :

wow! those scales turned out really great! do you have any "before" pictures of the scales?

Very nice work, I really like your keeping it the original vintage look. Will you be using the original vintage brass bullseye washers? Looking forward to seeing it completed.

Ho sorry i don't have "before" picture..

i have this one, but it was already cleaned at this time...




Now, the washers are polished

I don't know if it is the case with yours but sometimes the "grain in horn often shows up as a silver colour. The younger layers of horn are always a lighter colour than the older outside layers & an overlap of colour can show thru.

Nice restoration btw. As much as I like colourful acrylics its great to see them kept authentic.

Very nice work.. I also really like that you are using all the original parts. Beautiful. Looking forward to seeing the result when it's done!

Nice save! Lookin' good!
