3 Hess, 1 original, G10, horn

Here's 3 Hess Hair Milk Lab. razor, I just finnished up
Hess #1
cleaned blade an original scales, other then some pitting it came out pretty well
Hess #99
It was the best of the 3 blades. Cleaned up well, scales are jade green G10 (thanks brando), G10 wedge, 3rd pin, Nickel silver rod & brass washers. After get it together and playing with it, I think I'm going to go back and take a little width off the rear of the scales.
Hess #45
Scales are the set I had on the Greaves razor I posted earlier. The big Greaves blade just set a little deeper then I was comfortable with. So I used the horn scales for the Hess. Changed out the wedge to accommodate the new blade, wedge is blue acrylic with white liner.

I'll throw in a pic of the Greaves with the new scales.

this is just my opinion, so do with it what you like.

I like a contrasting wedge, so if you are already planning on taking #99 apart.......

Nice work on the horn

Well, I took the #99 back to the bench and narrowed it down a bit.
While it may not look much different it makes me feel better :).

dnjrboy- I agree I like the contrast colors as well but I didn't want to us a solid color.
If I would have had a opaque black (or darker green) I would have used it.
Everything else I had just wasn't what I was looking for.

I know this is an old thread but I just became the owner of the Hess 99. Pics don't do it justice, it's even better looking in person. Great work Brian.
