The Clover Four Razor

Got this one in the mail the other day and couldn't figure out what I wanted to do with it since the scales were wrinkled or whatever the problem was. Eventually I decided to just replace them and remembered I had a vintage set with vines and leaves embossed on them and thought they would go well with the spine work on the razor. Anyway it is a 6/8 French point C.F. Schwartz & Co. I decided not to even touch the blade so it made for an easy project. Some of the gold wash has come of the tang and monkey tail, but I can live with that. Doesn't look like it was ever honed, but I am looking forward to shaving with it. I am glad I went with these scales since I think they compliment each other fairly well.

Those scales are definately well suited to that blade..looks like they were meant to be. Nicely done.

Those scales are a very good match for that razor, nice job. Being new I have a question are most blades and scales interchangeable, as long as they are sized similarly?

You can switch out the scales aslong as they fit. Some are bigger or longer and you don't really want to use those with smaller or shorter blades or vice versa.

Nice looking scales. Great swap out.

Looks great

Beautiful looking blade and the new scales are amazing great swap Enjoy!
