Gentlemen,

I have a few razors that I have picked up that I am working on the blades, but frankly I am wary of attempting to remove the scales one is Goldedge and I don;t want to bung up the scales removing them. The other is a Henckels twinworks and the dark scales are very tight, and I just don't want to screw them up.

So, what is there any advice for restoring the blades while the scales are on?

ALSO, while I am asking - the Goldedge scales have split, it looks like a layer of the plastic has come up in the liner, when the blade rests when it is closed...any suggestions for fixing this problem? OR, if I take the scales off, has anyone every tried to transplant the inlaid brass designs from a celluloid scales into a wood or acrylic scale? I figure that the metal is too thin, and could not be successfully removed from the original scales, but it would be cool as*&^% if they could be lifted. Just curious.
