    Default 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.

    Jamie.

    Jamie,

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