This is a rescale for one of the local boys here in Brisbane. The blade is an A.Fiest & Co. - Lunawerks. I dont know anything about the blade at all.
The razor came to me with a cracked bakelite scale and a after-market third pin.
To give the scales a touch of 'Luna' I created a moon shaped window with 2 part epoxy.
The scales are smoke acrylic and the wedge is white acrylic. The pins are brass with a brass, stainless, brass stacked washer.
Nice work mate. That moon shaped feature looks awesome.

Wow Stu, that looks great. I thought it looked good when you showed us the roughed out scales at the meet, but the finished job is so, so much nicer.
Well done.

So is that an epoxy insert. Looks great Stu !

Worked out well mate. The scales are a gem.
Very nice! Simple lines and a new trick for me to learn!
Thank you
your craftsmanship is breathtaking..... very very impressive indeed.....
thank you...
Very nice work indeed. You guys seem to stay one step ahead of me all the time. I've got a few pieces in the works that I've done something like this. My problem is I get way to many projects going and don't know which to finish first. I guess it all comes down to what mood I am in.
Kudos on the moon...or is it through the moon...LOL
Just post 'em :)Quote:

I really like the little epoxy window you did, thats really original and different! Looks fantastic!
Great job.
I know that the original plan was for solid black acrylic but the very dark smoke adds some translucence and gives a night's sky effect which enhances the whole theme.
If you've got any of that dark smoke scale material left you may want to consider a southern cross for a future project.
Now that's a bloody brilliant idea Pauly!

man.. i bet that blade was huge back in its day.
Nice work staying true to the original and adding a bit of flare by using the smoked acrylic instead of black.
I'm good at coming up with ideas which mean more work for other people :)Quote:

The owner of this razor is in for some good shaves.
