I've got a couple of razors that have warped or bent horn scales. Now, I've figured out how to wet sand and polish them so the look almost new, but they are still warped.

I've been working a lot with Micarta lately and can re-create a similar look with black paper reasonably easily. I also just picked up a piece of figured purpleheart.

Is it wrong to not want to re-use the horn on the razors? Maybe I should just put the scales in the restoration box and maybe another blade will call for them in the future. The horn is in good shape, so I won't be getting rid of it.
