I've been doing a bit of silversmithing for several years now. Mostly for friends and family. Seems my main hobby is collecting hobbies. :)
A good friend got me into wet shaving earlier this year,...

Thanks. I clocked in 18 hrs. of bench time.

I specifically used this razor for this scale project, because they where both my first attempts. I wasn't sure that the metal would work, and I knew...

Thanks for all the kind words. :)

The scales are made out of nickle. I chose nickle instead of sterling because nickle won't oxidize near as fast as silver. So there will be less maintainance....

Thanks Max.
I remember what you had said about not over balancing the scales to the blade when working in metal.
The scales are still a bit heavier than the blade, but I got balance to within 1/4"...

I like to thank everyone here at SRP for all the wonderful info.
I've just finished my first restore, and made my first set of scales.

thanks,
