Thread: "Garland" Gotta brand new bag

I've been meaning to post this razor for some time now. Its a Garland Cutlery "Improved Eagle Brand Razor" It's 1/4 Hollow 6/8" black celluloid scales with a huge chip out of the dumb side severing through the pivot hole. Came with orignal case, that was beat up too. For the restoration i started by polishing the blade up to 8000 grit...i left some pitting in the blade because i did not want to loose the etching. The scales are a blue acrylic "jumbo" pen blank. Double stacked brass washers, shimmed the pivet hole, and brass wedge/spacer. For the case i fixed up the blown out ends thanks to mickey'ds napkins and elmers glue, and then sanded and painted to match the case. I had about 5 hours in this restoration. What a great shaver!

Nice Work! The scales look great with the brass wedge and stacked collars! Good save on the blade too, not to mention the box fix!

What a beautiful save, nice color on the scales. Thank you for sharing your work.

Lovely work. Very nicely done

That is REALLY nice looking!

Great save and thanks for posting the photos.

That's going above & beyond fixing the coffin. Nice job
Like the slim scales & close fit for the blade.

Great job Ryan, another fine job. I count myself very lucky that I can call you up anytime I have a question. I'm not sure that I would have stuck with straights otherwise. I can't wait till we get started on my Wade!

BTW your pictures look great.

I would like to thank everyone who has given me compliments. This was my very first rescale job, though it was not my first restore, but I have done many since this one. I had just now gotten the time to post the pics. Again THANK YOU GUYS!!! It really means alot.
