Thread: RE-Restored Royal Invicta

This was my first razor, and first re-scale too. Here's the original post http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...ic-scales.html At the time I was more than happy with how it looked, but now that I've learnt a little more about straight razor restoration I was feeling the urge to give this beauty an overhaul. The new scales are a dark tint acrylic with translucent red acrylic wedge. Nickel silver pins with S/Steel washers. I did a better job cleaning up the blade this time, took it back to 220 grit and back up again. There are a few pits remaining but I didn't want to loose the etch.
Note: I should say that these scales are obviously influenced by Max's unique style, but that I'm not trying to cash in on that style, I just dig it & that this razor will never be sold. It will remain in my personal collection until the day comes to pass it on to one of my boys. Hope thats cool Max.

Here's a before pic of the hammer too. Cost me 2 bucks at a garage sale a few weeks back.

Wow. A superb job. That deep red wedge is IMO, perfect, and the double pins look great on the toe. Really nicely done!

Grant,
Fantastic Job! It looked good before , but now it looks excellent. Also nice job on the hammer

Great job! The fit and finish is perfect on those scales... wonderful.

She looks amazing - great work!!

Lovely looking set of scales, well done!

If it shaves as good as it looks you have a winner

Great overhaul there, and the new scales really does the blade justice. They are classical and elegant and don't steal the focus away from that lovely blade. Nicely done indeed.

The skills are improving as is the fine taste! Super job and knarly hammer! Kudos Grant

I liked that very much.

Just enough work, without totally buffing it out.
Great wedge as well!
