So I don't have a good eye for classic things. A friend gave me a H & J.W. King razor with toasted horn scales. Like snapped and broken and toasted. However, a search shows it as being mid 1800s. It's 6/8 and damn near a full wedge. Like, almost lies flat on a lapped hone. http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...ing-razor.html
I have a few scale ideas for modern looking blades, but I want a classic look for this. Like, Lamborghinis look modern and cool and fast, but thats not what I'm after. I'm after the understated Rolls Royce type look, classic and snazzy but not overstated or cheapish looking either.
Any suggestions as to woods that are easy for a first set? Or color schemes in plastic that won't look gaudy?
Thanks!
