Thread: A new restoration, from a newbie.....

That is a quality razor. Many like it made by Dorko and other name makers, and were marketed under their own or other names like Brahma with scales the same in shape and usage..

I have that pattern / coloration of scales from the same era on two razors that I keep in the open air and there is no corrosion so far for the two years since I received and cleaned them. I believe the later plastic formulations of quality like yours are not a big problem. The cheaper mass produced scales of fresh, not aged, celluloid scales are the usual culprits.

Those scales are attention getting and were originally for a razor which slid into a sheath and was stopped by the wedge pinning and washers; like this one of a different scale material combination: The razor is inside the sheath.

Clean them and enjoy the colorful scales
