Hopefully the celluloid rot process has stopped. The razor is pretty old and the scales don't seem to be getting fragile, from my understanding, the scales should be quite brittle after fitting for some months.

Also is it possible that he chose not to fully hone the point end because I mentioned I was starting to learn how to use a SR? I saw people asking him to leave the toe a blunt to avoid cuts.
