Thanked: 0Oooops, broken scales on puma.
Hi all,
Longish time reader but this is my first post after introducing myself.
Well i recently decided i needed to get into shaving with a straight razor and after a lot of looking around the internet at new razors decided that i wanted to go with a vintage straight that didnt need alot of work and restore and have it proffessionally honed. So i settled on a fair condition puma 95 with just very little rust on the spine and almost perfect black plastic/bakelite scales. needless to say my hamfistedness has lead to the rear scale (without puma inlay) breaking in two just below the pivot pin whilst trying to unpin it for a good clean and sand/polish.
My question now is can i find a good replacement scale that will match the intact one or do i rescale it, i know i can get some very reasonably priced dovo or thiers issard plain black scales from the invisible edge. If anyone knows of or has a replacement that i could buy, please PM me.
What do you guy think?
Lee.
