    Default J. Allen&Sons + Scales

    Hi All,
    I cleaned up this old blade and I built new scales
    in faux tortoise. the new scale doesn't match with the old design,
    I preferred a new project based on my taste.

    thank

    HEy mate, looks great, I know what you mean about the scales i think it's the barber's notch that clashes, you did a nice job though, I just picked up a joseph allen and sons as well planning to clean it up a little it was in pretty good nick when I got it though so probably won't need much

    Hi Saitou,

    in this case the original scales were in bakelite with some cracks
    I didn't though very much about to change it

    I Have another J.Allen & Sons waiting for a restoration.
    It's older and greater than this one. Since it has a horn
    scales (with some worm bite ) I'll try to save
    the original scale

    Those new scales are nice looking for sure! I've been looking for one of the Joseph Allen blades that has the J Allen stamp rather than the Joseph. My initials J. Allen, so you see the attraction.

    Good lookin razor, enjoy.

    Nice job
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    I like how the scales flare near the pivot. Very nice.

    Nicely done. Interesting design to the scales and the whole fit and finish looks great.
