I came across some nice looking razors over the weekend at a garage sale. Ten dollars for two! The razors are stamped with Kouss (anyone know anything about this company?) are full hollow, appear to be stainless steel, and have very minor pitting, minimal rust spots on spine and tang, no smiling or frowning. Not even sure if they have ever been honed. The scales on the other hand appear to be bakelite and badly damaged, one is missing half of one side. I plan on making new scales for the razors and wanted to know what material would be best to use. I have Amaranth wood that I have used in the past to make flutes. This wood is water resistant and extremely dense. I was considering horn, but have no idea how to work with it, or maintain it. Any suggestions, or tips?
Thanks
