Why not restore the scales as well. Its fully possible, trust me, I've seen worse
I agree, you should definitely keep the scales.
Here is a similar razor by J & R Dodge. The scales say Prussian Army Razor.

Dont know guys ı really dont like the shape of the scales nor their color. I would prefer an AAA quality burlwood since Im a luthier and a wood lover, plus I never restored old scales like these. How do you approach, epoxy with color added?
Im not in a hurry with this one so I will think about whether to restore the scales too ot not.
Hello guys, just to report; I finished restoring the razor. I first tried to repair the old scales with epoxy but it was too much hassle and I didn't like their colors from the start. So I made new horn scales for it. Cleaned, polished and honed. Ready to shave. It has very nice steel, typical old Sheffied characteristics. Sharp but mellow. I enjoyed working on it, hope you like it.
