Opinions needed
So I am restoring a DD Goldedge (big surprise I know) anyway, if you guys had the choice, would you prefer the original scales or the colored acrylic.
If it is the acrylic, which color?
I would like to know what everybody is thinking on this matter.
Thanks,

My vote would be for the original. But then, for me, I would opt for the original scales 99% of the time if given a choice

Original, although duck scales are known for cell rot. Is there an acrylic equivalent to cracked ice or something similar?

See now that is what I was thinking. Cell rot is troubling. I don't know of any acrylic that looks like the cracked ice unfortunately.

I get an acrylic that has a nice pearl color to it, rather be new and reliable than original and completely rotted away...

Always original..."first, do no harm"! I like vintage razors the way the maker wanted them to look.

Ok, I'm like everyone else...my Goldedge has the original cracked ice scales. They're beautiful but in a kinda "follow the cowd" commom sort of way.
I vividly remember your post of the Duck'Lorange. Absolutely killer! If you were to do another in clear acrylic I'd like to see it in blue or purple.
Original is absolutely awesome, but...Why not dare to be different?
Just my 2 cents.

I just googled the MOP Kirinite and I have to say it would be somewhat close to the original cracked ice, not a look alike but it has a similar look to it. Perhaps it is the best of both.
