Please don't rescale it... that is a beautiful, NOS, one-of-a-kind razor. Seriously. You can find good blades in bad scales all over; you can't find many in original condition.

I'm actually starting to think that it shouldn't be rescaled either... If it ain't broke, don't fix it... And the way the scales are shaped, and fit into that holster... It's pretty slick, pink be damned!
Keep it as is, is my new vote
cheers,
Jeremy

If you feel that razor needs to be rescaled you should sell it and buy another one more to your liking. In my book that goes for any razor with functional scales in reasonable condition. +1 on not rescaling.

Sorry... Another vote for keeping it original.
The pink is a little different but so is the scale shape and protective cover. Everything looks in great condition and would be a shame to see it change from something already "unique".Don't do anything you wouldn't want to explain to the paramedics!

Damn it guys, you're making me feel guilty for wanting to rescale. Trouble is blades like that are hard to find!

I know the pink thing is bothering you. Really its not that bad. I would make a set of pink scales. Thats is, if i had a mean ass blade like that to put it in, and i would NEVER even consider wear a pink shirt. Its a beautiful razor.

See I'm the opposite. I have 2 pink shirts I wear to work sometimes, one with white cuffs and collar. I hate those scales though! Pink ivorywood isn't so bAd, but these...I'll wait till I see it in the steel so to speak, but I can't imagine liking them enough not to rescale.. Originally Posted by nicknbleeding

Pink ivory wood is not that pink. Give it a little time and you might start to except the color. Originally Posted by Scipio

Blades like that are easy to find, if you quit buying NOS... Originally Posted by Scipio

I'd have to disagree with that. I have yet to see another. French point Solingens are extremely rare. With spine work also? Originally Posted by BKratchmer
