Thread: What are you working on?

By the way.... Looks nice, with those scales. [emoji56]

FBU's have distinctive horn scales. Eric has 3/4 of the blade and scales from another, yet looks likely. Pretty cool.

Let's SHAVE!

(Oh! 3 layers of tape dropping to 2! )

I was thinking the same thing Tom said about the scales but I didn't say anything because they look good anyway. If you want it to look original, you can always do that later if you can find some original scales or make some new ones from some black horn blanks. You could even dress it up a little with some streaked black horn which I like also.

EDIT: Here's a pic of the ones I've seen. I snapped this one up less than a month ago when it must have just been listed & as soon as I saw the BIN for $150, I grabbed it because they are going for more these days. This seller didn't know what he had. The blade is exactly 1" wide.

Some of the heavy blade W&B's also have those scales but these are the kind of scales I'm used to seeing on the FBU's.
They usually have those bullseye collars too.

Thank You, Steve. BTW, that razor is superb!

Thanks Tom! It had one watcher on it & I thought watcher hell, I'm buying!!!!!
