Thread: Green Lizard

I was wondering who won that razor. I just want one for the heck of it.......

Yeah, they seem to keep going up in $$$

I so want a green lizard razor so bad now. They just look so awesome.

Lizard on scales, but not on blade

Upon waking-up this morning, I decided to shave with this razor... went to my 28-razor storage case, took it out, and... oy-VEY!! "celluloid rot" had taken hold.

Beginning about a quarter-inch from the tip, and extending for an inch, a narrow strip of rust runs along the blade's edge... and there's a corresponding "leperous"-looking (pale) patch on the bottom of the scales, where they were once a verdant green.

My heart is broken. Needless to say, I immediately banished the offensive item from the storage case. What to do? I could salvage the blade, but it's one without the "Green Lizard" stamped on it, so... sad... so very sad.

What about making a plaster casting of the stamped scale and making a new one with green acrylic epoxy?

You could also make a pair of green acrylic scales & get a sign maker with the right equipment to counterfeit a lizard for you. As a one off it wouldn't be cheap tho.
