One hint when restoring razors that have the Black Spider rust or Devil's Spit, I would very much recommend that you put the razor on a 1k stone and set the bevel before you go much farther, and confirm that you can get a clean bevel without any swiss chesse holes in there...
Nothing is worse then doing all the work to find that the razor will never shave...
Go ahead and ask me how I know this

LOL yes I thought that might be an issue and as soon as I had the rust off I did set a bevel. unfortunately I do not have the equipment to take a picture of that but it looks good, solid metal. Now to try and get rid of the rest of the pitting...trying to go slow..

So I have decided to try some Buffalo Horn with white streaks as the scales. I noticed when depinning this razor that there were no spacers. Is this typical?

That's not at all unusual. Good idea to add some in though. Good choice on the scale material - that stuff looks fantastic when done well. What are you thinking of using for the wedge?

This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

for the wedge either bone or a piece of brass or aluminum depending on what I pin it with.
