    Pinned it up tonite, with the original wedge, some brass collars from Austin, in addition to a brass flat washer that was used to cover the abnormally large pivot holes in the scales.

    I gave these two Timeless Razors (OC78 and a SB38) a polishing today. Solid Bronze razors. It's hard to get the shine to show in the pic but I'm much happier with them untarnished.

    Maas and elbow grease. I had some time on my hands so I opted for not breaking out the buffer.

    Once all is removed it gets sanded smooth. ( helps blend the repair.

    Note: this repair is done from the inside/flat side of the scales, keeping the original outer layer of horn intact.
