Thread: Show us your scales!

So my razors are pretty generic. Black C&S scales, Faux wood Engles Leader, and yellow acrylic Genco. Blah. The Faux wood is kinda cool. The yellow acrylic is like the color of older turn signals. But nothing special.

So I thought I'd start a thread for guys to show off their unique or particularly sharp looking scales. Bright colors, wood grains, shapes, materials, carvings, etc. Whatever you have that's not the generic blacks or blondes.

Here are mine, simply b/c I'm starting the thread and figure it's only fair.

Many pretty razors I've put together, probably not the direction you were thinking, but I have a warm spot for this one.

It was marked $10 at an antique mall, but found out it was 30% off day when I got to the check out. I think the worm holes adds tons of character to this $7.00 Sheffield MJ Higgins



(following is edit/added after orig post)

Felt lucky to find . Original scales on Checker Wedge. Celluloid glitter scales



I figured I should post a few unusual ones I made. For those that may not have seen these:

First is Joseph Elliot with real gold scales, made with gold flakes


Next Krusis Brothers Printed Circuit Board scales

I agree. I'm digging the worm holes. No pun intended.

Here are a few I have rescaled and some I have not. Rescales are rescues from junk shop trash. These are all Sheffield's.

The bamboo looks to me like a human finger bone...which is kind of cool, until you find out its bamboo and not some type of bone.

The worm holes look cool, and the green scales jump out at my eye...might have to pick one of those up...down the road. I've overextended my razor budget for now.

Hi there,

This is one of my first posts, if not the very first one, so I'll introduce myself a little ... I'm in Paris France, and I've been playing around with vintage blades and custom scaling for about a year now and I thought this thread should be a nice place to show some of my work.

For now I've been using almost exclusively acrylic and some brass and aluminium spacers/wedges (white pins are silver), trying to bring something a little bit more elaborate than the usual.

Here are some pictures :

I hope you will appreciate ..
Thanks for watching.

Very nice and pleasantly unusual! I worked with Acrylic all my working years, I salute you. Lamination that good is hard to acheive consistently!
