Thread: My New (to me) Ugly Duck

If it was me, I would trace the scales for a pattern, remove the inlays with acetone, cut new scales from plexiglass, and put the inlays on the new scales.

Cell rot is a non reversable process where the celluloid decomposes and emits acidic gasses that cause the corrosion between the scales.

so the fast safe easy way to remove rotted scales from the blade ? Hammer ? lol

Drill the head of the pin with a 1/16" drill bit

Good luck, James. i see you are enjoying your straights! Hee hee.

James bring that razor to my place and we will make short work of the razor clean up. We can remove the scales here with out issue as well. Then have Nate do the scales for you. PM me if this works for you.

That's the second Satinedge I've seen today. Banjoman84 has a nice one posted in this very topic. This one needs some TLC, but will look good when done. Thanks for the pics.

Its those damnable clear scales. Its more rare that they DONT rust the blade! if you dont plan on getting to them soon, remove the scales and soak in acetone to remove the emblems. Trust me, if you leave the emblems on the scales, sealed in a plastic bag, the acid will start to eat the brass!

well i wanted to see if there was an actual edge under all this,... took it to a cheap stone to see and man its not looking good

not sure if i have caused the wav in the blade or if it was already there

so i took my rusty old rotted blade and with only these



i started attacking the blade, with the cheapo diamond cut "stones" i attacked it with the 180 and probably did to much but it had some mega chips that had to go things were not looking good at all


I showed the pick elsewhere and the reports coming in said RIP, so i went to town with the 320 cause at this point why not then the blade looked a little better



for giggles sake i ran it on my arm, it took some pressure but i ended up with a clear patch, so i dragged the edge on metal DMT thing, i dont really know what it is i borrowed all this stuff, then hit smore hairs, then i did that thing that i do where i do stuff and dont really think about it that works for me,... but dont do what syngent does and im not respsonsible for people who do what i do,...

i dragged it on the leather with the red stuff then the black stuff then my fabric on the strop, then the leather and said who cares,... i did a two pass shave, had a DFS result,... no nicks no weepers, have no irritation and should probably go get a tetanus shot tomorrow im not going to mess this blade up anymore then i have since i have the wrong tools and before tonight 0 experience lmao but i had some fun thats for sure
