I've got another family razor comming :y I'm told that my great grandpa's razor has broken scales, so... When it arrives I'm going to take some pics and post them here. I'll be looking for a set of identical scales. Not knowing what is comming I'm kind of in the dark at the moment.
I want to restore this puppy to usable status. So I'm hopeing some one here can help me with a replacement set of scales :D
:y It's here...
Well it's a Shumate Razor Co, Shumate's Tungsten. Very little wear on the razor it's self but as the pic shows, the scale is broken off at the pivot pin. I took off the scales so I could clean it up better, just a bit of active rust above the heel at the spine. Other than that it only has good 'ol patina.
I have a set of scales that may work till I find some replacement scales just like the old ones, or something close.
Traveller might be able to supply some black ones like that.
This seems to be a standard size razor so I'll keep an eye out. I had a spare set of scales and some "almost" thick enough silver wire, so I attached the scales (first attempt). Still a bit loose but these scales are already stressed enough from the last time someone rescaled them. So I'll not push that yet, as these are temp scales, I wanted to get this puppy up for a shave tonight :D
I used the back of a DMT plate and a spoon for a hammer to make the pivot pin work... not bad :shrug:
