    Default Clauss Dancing Indian

    This scale pattern was limited to Clauss razors, as far as I know. I have seen it in black and yellow, but not in this marbled color. The original blade had some issues with an etch of "Hillsboro Hdw Co" and a nice finish would seem to necessitate removal of the etch. I let it lanquish until this fine 13/16 double concave blade came along in plain black bakelite. Since I am disposed to the "nice blade, nice scales" school of thought, I polished the blade lightly and scrubbed and polished the scales. pinning it together with original collars to the scales. It turned out quite nice and should be an awesome shaver!
    Thanks for looking.
    Tom

    There's something about Clauss's that always tug at my soul. I guess its the Made In America in a time gone by.
    That nice beefy blade looks great in those scales Tom
    I dig it alot.

    Nice job!! I always start out to do something like that and then get impatient, or more often, anymore, forget about it. Congrats on a job well done, and finished!!

    Thanks, and I know how you feel, Howard! This was a case of having several hours to kill and asking myself, What can I start and finish? Started looking at what I had, and it came to me! It does not happen often enough!
