Black liner for Ivory scales
I had two stunning vintage blades with cracked Ivory scales, and sent them to Glen to get g10 liners. I went with black for a "classy" look, and got them back today.
Let me say that he did a terrific job! He put the liner on and sealed the cracks so they can't be felt and won't move anymore.
I tried to take some pictures but I couldn't avoid a shadow...so the pictures you see are few of the ones that Glen took
I just wanted to share!Last edited by Ernie1980; 08-30-2016 at 03:08 AM.

Nice work. What was used to repair the cracks? Usually a repair show as a black line but I see nothing in the pictures. Very nice.

Very nice job on your razor. I have a razor with a slight crack in one of the ivory scales - now I know what to do with it. Thanks!

I didn't initially post the picture that shows the crack, it does show up as a black line. I am not sure what he used to fill and seal it, but they turned out nice! I will refresh the edge, hopefully tonight, and then move them up in the rotation. These pictures show the cracks:

Yep! Hard to beat Glen's work, the man is a genius! I had him do some work for me in the past and was more than satisfied with his work.

Gorgeous razor and I agree with the others, Glens work is great. I want to add an ivory razor to my small bunch then I think I'd be happy for awhile. Maybe...

If you collect/use vintage razors I think an ivory example is a must have
