Won this off evilbay the other day. BLURRY pics and no response from seller for clearer pics.
For the price I got it for I was willing to take a chance.
Here is what I received:
Attachment 210779
Attachment 210780
Attachment 210781
Attachment 210782
Now I had a different blade already so about 30 minutes of cleaning up and this is what it looks like now:
Attachment 210783
Attachment 210784
Attachment 210785
Attachment 210786
Needless to say I am a pretty HAPPY guy! :tu
Nice razor!
Is it a baby due to smaller blade width?

Somehow I knew you would be the one to buy that razor. Only you could bring it back to life. Nice job.
I would keep a close eye on that blade. Looks like it could very well be cell rot. Or have you already swapped the scales?
Nice work. I've never seen a SatinBaby before.
I believe the PC term is "little razor".Quote:

Nice job btw & do watch those scales especially as that rust was mirrored both sides.
I do have some material on its way.Quote:

Chevhead, very nice piece. You did a fantastic job! I would definitely keep it away from the rest of the herd though. Not trying to talk bad but the blade looked like it may have started getting damage due to cell rot so please keep an eye on it for awhile............JMO.
It might be ok though, maybe it was sitting in an area that moisture in the air. One of my Otto Deutsch Hans was like that & I had an extra blade so I put the scales in a baggie with a clean junk blade for about 6-8 months & when I opened it, I didn't notice any smell & the junk blade did not appear to be showing any bad signs, so I completed the job. It is a very nice straight now.
Nice razor, I have never seen one of those before! It's amazing what a difference a quick clean will give an old straight.

I do have material on the way and I actually got ANOTHER SatinBaby from evilbay the next day.
It had a pretty rusted looking blade but I just wanted the BRASS off of it anyways.
I received that yesterday and started to scrape the rust off with a razorblade and there is a crack in that blade.
Oh well no big deal. Makes it easier for me to remove the brass and not worry about saving the whole razor.
These are NOT that common.Quote:

Two on the bay at once.
Got them for a song also...............
I have only heard about them (from here) and I was lucky enough to get a good blade a while back.Quote:

The scales are of no concern because I can make new ones.
Even though I prefer working with Ebony, I will do these in acrylic.
10pups gave me the link to his supplier... so it is on its way.
Did i mention I HATE working with acrylic? :cry:
ESPECIALLY CLEAR......:banghead:
I saw that on there an didn't bid because of the rust an not getting a response either guess next time I'll take the plunge cause it looks great now excellent job cleaning that baby up.
The blade is SHOT...Quote:

The scales "seem" to be okay for now.
Got to keep an eye on them like has been mentioned because of the probability of scale rot.
Thanks, Chev! You had me worried! I slather them with...Nevermind! :rofl2:Quote:

Great job chev! Look forward to the new ones when you get em made.
You got time to play with the acrylic having extra brass. Use it like you would any of your ducks it's not going to flash bang blow up over night. What you WILL see over time is little black specs on it that don't just polish off by hand. Time for ICU and acrylic then. :<0)

Chevhead, I think the acrylic is the thing to do. The Marconi I acquired awhile back, well, I got it out the other night to look at it & as soon as I opened it, I heard a small snap. I looked at it & the scales now have a crack in them at the pivot pin. I would like to find some butterscotch looking acrylic to make some scales from one day.Quote:

Well, there is always this. But then again, shipping might be excessive.Quote:
