    Gary,

    It's not easy.

    Send it to somebody who knows what they are doing.

    I've made scales and the hardest part is pinning them to the blade. Looks easy, sounds easy, but if you are not careful, you can either crack or ding the scales. It's easy to do it badly.

    If you look through the classifieds section under "members services" there are several razor restorers who will be able to pin your razor.

    Gary in the Wiki and a Sticky in the Workshop there is a Illustrated Pinning guide I did awhile ago... IF you have the right tools it is rather simple, read through those and see what you think.....
    The only real trick is tap, tap, not hammer
