Thanks guys! I will keep you posted. I don't know
if I want to keep it close to original or use some modern
Materials at this point I may get both since I do want to rescale
Some others I have.

I do not know if you have them up there but Woodcraft has a selection and the one by me has a "scrap bin" that has great stuff in it for scales. The scrap is $1 a pound, can't beat it for many of the exotics.

Thanked: 13234One 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 thisLast edited by gssixgun; 03-17-2013 at 07:15 AM.

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?

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