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!!

Absolutely gorgeous!

I haven't a clue as how to do what you have done but I feel deep inside I want to give it a go. I know the pride that goes with completing a job like this and then making it a special family heirloom because of the love, blood, sweat and tears that went into it.

Inspiring.

Smooth and clean , thats what I like. Very nice.
