Thread: LF info on a "Koban" razor

Finally received my Kobar (not Koban) razor and I really like the blade on it.
The scales are pretty much shot and what I'd like to do is to have them replaced - potentially some dark wood ones...

Some pics, the blade looks ok to me but I may well be missing something;

(The scales does make me a tad worried about cell rot so the razor is being kept in 'quarantine' for now).

Would be interesting to see how/if it could be given a bit of a different look through a cleanup and different scales.
