First 3 Pin razor restore - Dubl Duck Goldedge
I bought this razor some months ago and put it aside while doing other restores and such.
Now I am ready to take the plunge and give it a new lease on life.
I did a write up about this razor in Show and Tell a little while ago and showed some pics too

Yesterday I started the unpinning process and managed to unpin it without damaging the scales
Pics :) cause we all like them are below
Sorry about the camera shakes making some pics blurry

Passion fingers happened - owww
Bad news - Front scale is toast. Used the hot water method and boiled the scales and metal plates in a large pan this time (about 4 minutes) While trying to flatten it enough to make it pin up right, I had it sandwiched between steel plates tightened down to aid the process - over did it - killed the scale.
When it cooled down and got taken apart there was this dark color on both sides of the scale. Managed to clean it off (it was the paint used on the steel) with some light auto cutting paste and saw the damage. Top surface had lost some oft it's coating and was partly flattened by the pressure of the scales. The Goldedge inlay was also flattened in the process.
Very disappointed I damaged this scale so badly. :(
