    Default New custom scales :)

    Just finished these off for a member.

    Blade is a very nice 5/8 square point.

    Scales are bubblegum pink G10 with a white wedge.
    Pins are brass with a single SS washer.

    Looked better than I thought it would.....perhaps I've stumbled upon something here...

    The color is a little deeper in person. I'm not a good photographer.

    I think the combination of it being a light color, and not layered G10 may have taken away a little
    of the cool contrasts that could have happened.

    I also could have used a better contrasting wedge, but I wanted to keep it simple and "Girly"

    You could definitely be on to something here - not just for women, but also for fans of Palermo FC. That looks *just* like their strip...

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    Looks like you've done a great job.
    I'm sure she'll love it.
    If it was for my g/f she wouldn't because she hates pink :P

    This is, in fact, my wifey's razor so pink seemed fitting. For my personal taste? No. But she absolutely loves it! Thanks Matt!

    I know where you're coming from. I recently did this set for a guys daughter. It was a gift for her birthday and he requested some bling and glitter. He picked the razor and I made the acrylic then spun up the handles. No reason we get to have all the fun of using this stuff.
