    Thank you everyone for the information. I think I'll just pull the pin on this one (pun intended) and salvage the scales since they are in great condition and razor was literally only a couple of dollars and put the blade in the "What to do with this" box.

    I have to say that was a valiant effort you put in to save the old girl though. Saving the scales is definitely worth a couple of bucks. If you haven't read this Purchasing straight razors - Straight Razor Place Library it may help with your next razor.

    I think you should try to finish it. How else are you going to learn ? You will find out exactly what we are talking about that way.

    I'm still debating, but it has been shelved for the immediate future. I have a Beau Brummel No. 35 that I'm going to get started on making custom scales from a pearl white guitar pickguard with 3.7mm sapphires embedded down the sides of it. Hoping for it to come out looking something like this, sorry for things being a little out of whack with the placement and shaping but I'm not a photoshop whiz. Name:  Brummel custom3.jpg
