    It looks like your scales are a hit! Making scales sure is fun, isn’t it?

    To address a few questions above, I previously posted here where I bought all my supplies. You can buy damn near anything on ebay.

    As for neatsfoot oil, I have some. I usually only apply neatsfoot oil to vintage horn scales that are starting to delaminate (works wonders!), but you are welcome to come by again and apply some on your new scales.

    You are also welcome to come back and play with my hones to get that beauty back to shave ready.

    Wow thanks. Yeah I wanted to learn to hone, but didn't get a chance to talk to Alan. I might bring my Torrey and polish it too as well as hone. I'll contact you sometime in the near future
