I wanted to do something with the scales that minimized the scales and showed more of the blade when closed. The grooves don't do anything for the handling, at least not for me, but show the steel.

bharner,
I will definitely apply that routine, different stones, before my next shave with it.

It makes me wish I at least had a coticule to work with. On the upside, my c12k/phig/guanxi works wonderfully at maintaining edges once someone else gets them good Originally Posted by Hirlau

That is the same reason I put the notch in my W&B scales, very well described. Originally Posted by Hirlau

Wow, great restore. Like the others, I love the finger grip scales.
I'm curious about what made you pick that one up at the antique store? I haven't tried a restore yet, but I don't think I would have tried that razor on a bet! It looked beat before you worked on it.

I will usually pick up any vintage razor, I see if the blade is not badly chipped and the pits are not to deep, under $30.00. I don't care what the scales look like. I was lucky on this one, the rust was mostly just surface rust. Hand sanding took 90% of it off. I had good advice out of Vegas(Max) on how to repair the damaged , oversized pivot hole.

Very tidy job. Your pinning is nice and tight, and the finish on the scales is great. Well done.

Nice work! The scales are very individual. Keep beating on it! It will come around! COOL!

I rest my case.
