Hey guys, I tried looking this up but I haven't had much luck. My straights have been in storage for a year or so, and one of them looks a bit odd. My horn scaled bengal had a bit of surface cracking a while ago, and I just sanded it smooth, and wiped it with neetsfoot. Now that area has really taken a turn, it looks like the surface is peeling in that one area (one scale starting at the pivot and about a third back, looks a bit like bark) I'm wondering if its a problem with the horn, or if it might be a shellac that is starting to go bad. would fully sanding it be worth trying, cleaning it and wiping it down with industrial metho spirits to re-constitute the shellac, or is there something else worth trying? I'd like to keep the scales in as good of shape as I can, as they are very thick, and its a heavy razor, so they keep the balance pretty well.
Thanks
