Curtin & Clark custom restore

This Curtin & Clark came to me for new set of clothes and blade restore.
I found a very nice thin and straight piece of horn that I thinned even more to match the slenderness of the blade. I used Ivory acrylic for the wedge, with brass pins and stainless washers. As Always I did add a small tweak to the scale shape to give the restore a bit of uniqueness.
The blade was not in too bad shape, it had almost no hone wear, it feels really nice in hand too. I think this one came out really classy looking.

Nice lines to it & a pleasure to see it go back on the line.
Thank you for sharing it Stefan.

Great looking blade! the new horn scales are very elegant, nice work Stefan!

Clean and Simple, I dig it. Nice work.

Another winner Stefan. Clean lines on blade and scales.

Stefan did a wonderful job restoring the Challenge, The new scales are simply art. Beautiful work. Thank you!

Sorry I have not gotten a chance to reply to this thread, I am a little slow :)

Looks great. I really like the scales with the squared ends. The white spacer adds a real nice accent.

Actually Yes! Very good close shave, The friction on the scales are perfect and gives me excellent control. I have several razors, and this one is my favorite. The only problem I am having is I keep trying to cut off that little flap on my ear that covers the ear hole. No matter how careful I am..
