Hi !
2 straight razor today, a old French razor, Manufrance Saint Etienne, 8/8, I made the scales in cocobolo, and a Solingen Rich Abr Herder 14, like a Fila 14, I made the scales in Snakewood.

The fit and finish on those is fantastic. Very nice work :)
Beautiful work :tu
What have you used for the finish? Or are they just sanded and buffed/polished?
Really fine work
I am not usually a fan of wood scales. Probably because most that I have seen are not finished and fitted properly. Your razor, however superior in both of those respects. Some of the finest wood scales I've ever come across. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks all !
Yep Zephyr, polished and finished with carnauba wax (for the cocobolo)
Those are really nice wood scales. I would have no problem owning those. :)
Absolutely gorgeous!

When I see a New Thread by Ali I start to smile even before I see the pics.
Nice work man. These scales are wonderful. Nice lined wedge on the snakewood too! I also like the rounded edges. Too often scales that aren't rounded look bulky.....
Great stuff.
Man! Really nice work. Beautiful in all respects! Looks very nice and I just rubbed my beard! ;)
Wow, stunning work! I'm especially loving your Snakewood Solingen. Someone is going to be very, very happy.
Nice work indeed...I have some I'd be interested in rescaling and those are wonderful examples to emulate...great job.
Beautiful!
Very classy and elegant nice work!
superb...that cocobolo is gorgeous.
Very nice work. Smooth lines and almost an elegance about them!!

Stunning work, sir! Like the handles. What the coating is on them?
Both are very pleasing to the eye!
Outstanding craftsmanship and choice of materials! It al fits together perfectly - well done.
Sine this thread has been resurrected I like the clean design, fit and finish. Really elegant work. I've got some snakewood scales to build for a razor I'm restoring. Hope they turn out a fraction as nice as these. I'm undecided on the wedge at the moment.
