G'day folks,

I recently aquired a nice razor with a "carved" or more correctly an ornate celluloid handle. the problem is that over time that the scales have deformed so that they are pinched together in the middle (touching at the back)

What I would like to know is if it is possible to reshape them to restore the gap between the scales.

My first thought is to soak them in boiling water, insert a wedge and allow to cool.

The second and more drastic option is to remove the scales fit them to a ridgid backing material and repin. (this I'd rather avoid).

Thanks in advance
