Now the hunt is on for some original scales.
Seems that is what I am looking for more so than razors lately....

Oh yeah... I can't see ANY hone wear on this either..
I mean maybe it was sharpened ONCE....

I have a perfect 5/8 front scale and need a rear one. Perhaps you could find one opposite?
A fact about Ator scales: 6/8 ones are (very slightly) larger than 5/8 ones. They are marked inside the scales with 5 8 or 6 8. The 6/8 blade will go fine in the 5/8 scales, though!

This one is 6/8... I will keep and eye out for a set though....
Thanks for the info!!!!

Tightened the pins, cleaned it up ever so slightly and put it to the hones.

Shaved with it today and WOW!
One of the BEST shaves I have gotten!
Right up there with my Goldedge (my go to)

SMOOTH, NICK FREE, BBS!

I LIKE IT!
I give this razor

So I just won another Ator.

Original scales... so lets see if I can NOT break them.

If I get them off maybe I will TRY and do a mold of it and see what they turn out like?....

So I received my razor today and couldn't wait to un pin this bad boy:

Tarkus... it wasn't so bad... it came apart pretty easy if you ask me...





Seriously though... I took my time because of the warnings about how brittle these are.
About 30 minutes later and here ya go..........



I am going to see if I can make a casting of these and MAKE a set or two....

Be careful whackin them back together, Chev! Esp at the top!
So are they 5/8 or 6/8??

5/8...

There was NO markings on the inside...
The wedge is glued to the front scale also...

Weird! Yours must be later? All I have seen have 5 8 or 6 8 under!
