Vintage Soligen in blonde horn

I've had this Vintage razor sometime it's always been a lovely shaver, she came with the original scales which were a butter scotch celluloid nothing to write home about, so i order a nice sheet of blonde horn, well i've finally finished, i also made the wedge from the horn, then doubled up on the back washers but left the pivot as a single washer on the front, it seemed to give the overall look and a better balance to the razor.

Ooooh, a honey blonde! She looks sweeeet! [Imagine ogling look]

Nicely done, horn is such an awesome material.

Well ain't she pretty! Nice done Jamie :)

Jamie,

That is a beautiful restore. The horn is perfect.....is it from robsbits/Pietra Dura? A really nice restore man.

Those scales are a work of beauty

Great work, I have not seen horn with deep color like that.

That's right Max I did get this one from Robsbits, i believe 160mm X 60mm X 4mm.

Thats some wicked looking horn! Very nicely done.

Great, Great job! A striking razor!

I agree with all, the horn is amazingly beautiful, but I like the whole razor. The spine work is some of the nicest that I've seen. I thought my TI c135's had nice spines, laser etched, but a real craftsman created yours!! Very nice razor!! Thanks for showing it!

Best Regards,

Howard

Jamie, wow. Great job with the horn, looks really good.
I keep coming back the the spine work on the blade, awesome.
Well done.
