Hi, Pretty new to this site and forum, but been a fan of straight razors for a while.

I have come across a number of razors in a slightly rusty condition, but want to bring them back to life.

Just wondering the best course of action would be.

Removing the scales and attempting to get rid of the rust and reassemble?

It is a Legion Razor No 430 3/4. I don't know too much about it to be honest.


The other thing is i have one which the scales are irretrievable. would it be best to try and redo the scales out of the same material, or venture into some nice wood and create my own?
This one has no name or markings. it is a wedge shaped blade, and a spanish point from what i can gather. It's a bit weighty as well.

Attached is my first effort at a restore. not great, but better than i expected.
