This one was sent to me by a friend of mind, Randydance, and he asked me to put scales on it. The blade is unused, but had a little pitting due to those wonderful DD scales offgassing. :D These scales are Philippine camagon, with a 20 layer CA finish and a malachite wedge.
P.S. Those spots on the blade are buffing compound, not pitting or rust. I didn't notice them before I took the pics.
You still got it. :tu :tu

Thank you, Thank you! Looks great! :tu:bow
I love those scales! Nice job!!!
AWESOME>>>;)
Beautiful work as always Joe, However it pains me to point out the one huge flaw with it....
IT IS NOT ON IT"S WAY TO ME!!!!!
Congrats Randy
Impressive!!
Where do you buy your malchite?
did i read that correctly "Satin Baby" a rare version of the Satinedge??
Really nice outcome... the scales a subtle and suit the blade perfectly.
You'd have to think that was the mark of truly classy work.

WHY would DD have so many versions of different razors, if they are all the same???? Just to market their different scales????? food for thought.....
Maybe Thebigspendur who is way more knowledgeable than I on these razors could weigh in....
Sorry slightly off topic here:OT
No need to take this discussion much farther on this thread, Because this thread is about a fantastic restore by a truly gifted "Razormiester"....:bow
Just some backround on this razor. I had bought this razor NOS, still in wrapper, sealed. I let them set, covered and out of the sunlight for about 1 year. I just did not have time to get to them. When I did get back to them about 2 months ago the clear celluloid scales has started decomposing/off-gassing and the blade was blackish in color. Joe Chandler is the best at restoration so I asked him if he would take a look at them for me. Thankfully he said ok and you guys can see the outcome.
I have not decided if I am going to keep the razor or sell it, it is a NOS blade and I really want to see how it looks first!:D
And yes, it is a 5/8 Satinbaby.
