Nice looking blade! The spine wear looks even and the bevel looks straight. The scale is an easy thing to replace. I make new scales all the time. Made a set this weekend and drilled the front pinning hole just a tad crooked so I'm going to have to rebuild those. It only takes me about an hour from start to finish with a bandsaw and a sander.

Yeah, I really enjoy making scales too and I'll definitely put new scales on it. I think I'll keep the old homemade ones in case they fit better with a different blade later on. I was just going to toss them out but the more I look at them I kind of like them for what they are. They have the feel of years on them and somebody before me took the time to make them.

That is a fine idea. Maintains the character and care that has been put into the razor.

Pretty old! I have seen Shaw and Sons, but not just John Shaw!
Judging from your latest work, it shall be a beauty as you restore it!
Great find!

The homemade straight scales look very strange with the large smiling blade so I agree they should go. It's nice that you're keeping them for something else though. They have a certain character and patina that is beautiful in its own unique way. I like the collars for that reason too.
