I really like the scales on a lot of Western Japanese razors, especially the flashy ones. For me the fanciful colors/designs of the scales make for an excellent counterpoint to the deadly seriousness the Japanese have about their edged steel. Of course, I think they could look great rescaled also. I just wouldn't want to break that bond. For muted beauty I think a black scaled Iwasaki that was once for sale on a site I peek in on now and then is one of the most beautiful razors ever made.
