    I'd suggest RTV on the blade for damping vibrations rather than epoxy unless you dislike the smell of vinegar.

    Fine looking razor, hope you can save it.

    I just use electricians tape instead of RTV or silicone when reshaping a razor, less mess. +1 on the "Nix the Barbers Notch Notion" it would just not fit that razor. As far as cell rot, I hate to be the bearer of bade tidings but those scales must go.

    Sometimes there is no alternative to grinding it shorter. I ground this one back to two inches and refit the scales to the blade. Still a great shaver.............

    Duly noted on the scales. It above my skill set today Going to library and Videos. A few test runs on no name inlay transfers before I get brave.
