    Had some successes and failures but I managed to get some scales on the Najeeb. Ain't too purty but makes me happy. The wood is cocobolo. I used the old wedge that came with the razor. I am still not proficient at making wedges....yet.

    You have the 'wood' that matches the nautical theme of the blade perfectly. Looks good.

    Nice job!
    Anytime an old razor goes back on the line, it's a beautiful thing.

    Nice. Razors with such etchings are rare and worth hanging on to.

    Very cool blade! You can do like me, i have been rescaling the same razors for five years.. They get a little better each time.. But it sems like i always miss something along the way to perfect.. It's cheaper that way.
