    First of all thank you gssixgun for the excellent video on how to rescale a razor! I decided to give rescaling my H Boker red injun 5/8 a shot after watching. Very informative and explanatory, it worked out pretty good for me since I'm a visual learner. I think it turned out alright but more practice will make it turn out even better. And thank you to all you gentlemen who have helped me really develop a passion for straight razors.

    I think it's plastic. They are the scales from a zeva razor figured might as well put part of the razor to use since the blade was scrap metal made to look like a razor.😝
