    Looks awesome, and in my opinion, whenever you can add a personal touch to our razors, it makes them all that much more personal, so if in another 100 years, someone may say whomever owned it last, took a lot of time and energy to restore it so that it could be enjoyed and live on....

    Great work!

    Those are beautiful! Gorgeous woods and so nicely done. I like the choice of pins and collars as well, small and simple, keeps the focus on the scales and blade IMHO. Very nice!!!

    Thank you for all the kind words. I didn't intend to have so many razors rescaled, but after I saw the first one finished in Quilted Maple I was hooked. Right now I am really enjoying the ERN in Amboyna, it reminds me of cream just poured into coffee, fitting for a morning shave, eh?

    Alfredo kept things very traditional with silver pins and washers. The scales are modeled off the originals with the exception of the Brian Brown razor. The ERN and CVH were both ebonite and the smell really killed the zen of the morning shave, so it had to go.

    I told Alfredo that this really took my collection to the next level. As Phrank said its a personal touch, my stamp on something, now they mean a little more to me. Anyways, thanks again for all the nice comments. I am glad you guys enjoyed seeing them.

    I really like that they were modeled after the originals. I'm not a fan of outrageous modern shaped scales. The wood on these also remind me of a celluloid pattern like on some Dorko straights. These have to be my absolute favorite wood scales ever.

    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

    I have to say that Crown and Sword is beautiful. I tend to think of my, and most, razors in a utilitarian manner. But your ERN is truly a beautiful razor. I tend to discount my thoughts of rescaling a few of mine, but seeing yours has piqued my interest. Thanks.
