Happy with a bay buy... Scales need replacing since they are cracked on the inside.. but it otherwise looks great. Going to send it off somewhere for a resto, since I lack the expertise. Again, sorry for the craptastic cell phone pic. ;)

You could just Krazy Glue the crack..I had a razor that came like that..no issues ever..I would clean it up with some Flitz/Maas/Mothers polish (my friend uses this)..and woolpads #0000
I might give that a shot. They feel very brittle, so thats probably the main reason I'd send it out to be rescaled
Lizard-not sure about the scales, but I recently won an old Reynolds on the Bay, and was quite surprised at what I could do with the blade by just polishing it with Mother's, CrOx, and old socks. But I might get it rescaled, I don't know. Please show us the after pics too!

I think that's the one I was eyeing as well. Glad that someone on here got it! It went over my price range at the time so I wasn't too worried when I didn't get it. That looks like it will clean up to be a great blade.
It was a touch more than I wanted to pay, but was at the price I set my max, so I'm happy. I'm going to get cleaning it up a go over the weekend
What are those scales made out of?
They feel plastic-y, but I'm not 100% sure.Quote:

Thanks, I have found the exact razor and was debating on pulling the trigger as I was hoping they were horn. Good luck on the resto Crzylizard! I will be looking forward to bringing mine back to life too!
Received mine today and it turns out the blade is actually a Hargreaves Smith & Co, same scales though ...... I have seen a few Reynolds like yours and some W&B with these scales could mine be a rescale ??? The blade looks to short to fill the wide scales. I can post pics a little later but do not want to steal the thread. Let me know
I just tried the epoxy route on a red spot that I just bought. One crack fore and aft . Looked great ... Middle of the 1st shave after the fix, I was standings there with 6 pieces in my hand. So much for saving the red spot emblem.
Here is mine, let me know if you want this taken down.
This cant be the original match up of scales and razor

How is your restore coming along???
Haven't had time to start. My sister was married this weekend, and we've had family in town. Hoping to start this weekend
