    Default Recent eBay finds after using rejuvenator on pressed horn scales

    Earlier today I showed a razor I got off eBay recently which had a whitish residue on the pressed horn scales from age. I went to Home Depot & Lowes asking for neatsfoot & they looked at me like I was stupid or something so I looked around & found some stuff called Rejuvenating Oil & so I bought it. I tried it on the scales of this razor. I put 2-3 coats on it & it did the trick. The first 1-4 pics are before & 5-8 are after using this stuff. It really worked great!

    Looks good. Nice razor.

    Pure neatsfoot oil is pretty pricey. The stuff you get from Tandy and the like is a low percentage of neatsfoot with some other stuff tossed in.

    I usually use straight mineral oil. Been using it on picked bone pocket knife scales and horn razor scales with good results.
