I haven't seen a common thread here displaying the custom restoration of vintage razors, so I thought I'd start one... Doesn't matter if you don't have "before" pics.

Here's a vintage Kropp I restored I made the scales using red acrylic liners and Welsh Holme Oak double pinned washers.
And a vintage German Solingen blade using Lignum Vitae and white acrylic liners and a decorative custom pin that they usually use in custom knives.

Seeing the KROPP i kinda sorta have a love for them.
Here are two and a KABESO. All blades the same length and probably the same blank but having differing grind and pivot point placement and tang length. makes a big difference. I could not figure why the scales I made for one KROPP did not fit...duh, it was the short tanged one and the other fit fine!

All worth the save and shave well, they do.

PS if you think you have a pair of blades, check them well. I didn't and had a lot of extra work.:gaah:
