Thread: Maybe you know!

I would not be so quick to discard those scales. Even broken they are probably worth much more than that very generic blade. They are rather unique, at least in my experience, and possibly could be rescued with superglue and a liner.

That is a good looking razor! I'm with you in replacing the scales as they arn't to my style/taste but as mentioned the value of the razor with the original scales especially unique ones like those increases.

Ok so how do i remove them safely? and when I put new ones on is there anything I need look for as far as size and such? maybe good places to buy new scales?

Make some out of whatever material you like. Lexan, wood, the possibilities are endless. Keep it thin as the original and use brass or nickel pins. There is a video somewhere showing the basics of replacing them. Sorry, I am working and can't locate it for you.

If not a video, its a series of photos. I have 2 razors I plan on replacing the handles on as soon as I get settled completely here in western North Carolina.
