Thread: Puma #91 Custom Re-build in Tortoise Acrylic

This is a complete rebuild of the cracked Puma Faux Tortoise scales that CDogg sent me...

I used Tortoise acrylic from Masecraft, lifted the Puma inlay off the old scales and used everything else over, even the old wedge, except the pins those are new Nickel Silver...
This was one of the cleanest inlay drops I have done, they are always touch and go because once you drop them on the new scales, you don't want to be moving them around

I polished the blade out again, and removed the light patina, and minor scratches...
The scales were sanded out to 12,000 grit with Micromesh then polished with Novus.

Sweet G! Couldn't be done any better.

that blade looks awesome. i've seen some of your work on past threads and each one looks better. great jobs on the scales too.
are there any before pictures of the razor?

Glen,

That looks absolutley fantastic - I wouldn't have know the scales weren't originals if you hadn't told me! The inlay is spot-on, and the blade looks better than I ever could have imagined. As always, thanks for the superb craftsmanship, I can't wait to get this beauty home!

Scales and blade came out great. But that inlay really does add the finishing touch.

Looks brand spankin' new. Great work.

Looks great Glen!

I really like the fact that you've transferred the inlay across as well, thats very cool.

And it looks even better in person. And it shaves like a dream, which is to be expected from Glen, naturally. Really, really sweet!

Chad trying to remember what I used as the finisher on this one???

"shaves like a dream" is for all Pumas, sweet,soft and gentle shave.
