    Question How to Polish Pinned Scales

    A pair (unmatched) of straight razors with dyed-horn scales in need of TLC. They spent a few weeks immersed in linseed neatsfoot oil, then drained and dried. They look much better, but I'm sure that more work would make them look even better. Unfortunately, they're still pinned to the blades, and my arthritic hands and fingers are no longer capable of unpinning/repinning them.

    So, what's up with polishing the scales in their present configuration? I have a wide range of sandpapers (through 3,000 grit) and micromesh pads (through 12,000 grit). Go? No-go? What else? Don't be shy.

    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.
