Thanked: 0W. H. Morley & Sons in Cocobolo
Restored this W. H. Morley & Sons for my brother who I introduced to straight razor shaving at Christmas time, since then he has gotten a case of RAD. He sent this one out to me sans scales. Making tear down was easy, straight on to sanding, sanded out all the bad and sadly as I was watching TV while doing his clover as well, sorry Paul. The scales are cocobolo with nickle silver pins and wedge. Man nickle silver is hard to shape into a wedge by hand sanding. This was my third attempt at restoring a razor and first time trying CA glue finish. All and all I dont thing it turned out to bad some spots need improvement but I guess that will come as I do more.
The piece of wood the razor is sitting on is ironwood burl that I had planed to cut up for some scales but my wife said its to pretty for that and I would be wasting it if I did that so for now it is in limbo.
