Hi everyone,

Today my newest purchase arrived: the pipe razor. I have restored a few razors now but with Mr. Pipe I was really taken back by the awesome wooden scales. The only problem is that one end is cracked.

What I am wondering is what the more experienced folks think I can do to save the scales. I looked into using some sort of resin (e.g., CF glue) to fix the crack and harden the scales but I don't like the shine that it produces. These scales are a flat color and I don't rally want to gloss them up. Normally when I'm restoring a razor I'm working with Bakelite so this is my first time with wooden scales. Thanks
