My $60 Wapienica...
What do you do with a $12 razor that outshaves your $60-$100 razors? Why, send it to Joe Chandler for a set of horn scales...
I love my Wapienicas, and I thought one deserved to be promoted to a very special place in my rotation.
Joe made a set of black horn scales, which turned out beautifully. He was kind enough to humor my requests on the shape of the scales and on the red spacer, a nod to the razor's Soviet bloc past.
I asked for him to engrave my initials, and he selected this font, which I think is perfect.
Thanks a million, Joe! You are an artist.

That's beautiful.
How did he do the engraving? was that an acid etching, or a true engraving?
