    Thanx. Took a very gentle approach so tang & blade had minimal abrasion. Razor was quite good apart from spiderweb rust.
    Only buffed the high part of the scales to give contrast.

    Nice work mate!

    Great save!

    Are the scales celluloid? Just wondering?

    Tanx Roy. I didn't sand them at all to notice but they were very flexible compared to bakelite so maybe yes, celluloid.

    Nice finish on those blade faces! Looks great (and no doubt shaves so too)

    Nice work mate. The blade looks great, and who doesn't like a pair of naked chick scales.
