Thread: worth restoring?

If you could post a pic of the damaged scale it would help those more knowledgeable than myself to give you ideas. Failing that you might ask for a spare scale. There should be someone out there who has had the same problem and has kept the good scale. Either way good luck. The project should stand you in good stead if you want to restore more blades down the track.

I agree with everyone else. Those scales are pretty cool!
Too bad the one cracked.

Does anyone know if there is any way I could get the remaining one restored a have a new one mad to match it? I'd really like to save the one I have. I also bought another vintage straight last night from Fabyan Knife co. And I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about that brand. This is quickly becoming an addiction lol

If there is no active rust on it, leave it alone and hone it up. Everyone should have a nice patina'd old razor in their collection/rotation....shiney is over-rated.

A couple of my my best shavers are so worn that most people wouldn't pick them up off the street if they found them laying in the gutter. But to me they are stars, because of the work that i put into them, and the work they give back to me..
