One for the wife
Some of you would have seen this little J. Diriam blade a couple of weeks ago. I posted a picture after chipping the blade while sanding. Thanks to some good advice, i saved the blade with a little reshaping at the heel end. This blade was only going to be a learning exercise in restoration as it had some pitting and its only a little 9/16 wide blade, too small for my liking. But then my wife sugested if she might give straight shaving a try if I made one for her. So i put in a little effort...
The scales are a red translucent acrylic with a clear acrylic wedge
Brass pins and washers
I'm quite proud of it.

Great restore!! Your wife will be very happy with that razor. There is a lot of love showing in the restore between all of the metal removed to get the chip out and the excellent work in selecting and making the scales. :rock: :tu:tu

Great save and the scales have a wonderful shape!:tu

That is a very feminine looking razor.

You should be proud and your wife jumping joy.
Great job on both the blade and scales.
