Straight Razor restoration part 1

[Exile]

They have some small cracks in them. Which is why they are long shots :lol:

I got them off a razor that went in the bin from been too badly rusted.

I just read elsewhere that if you put a blade in new scales its customization not restoration, kind of pimp my blade!

If the scales are re-usable I would, after all they are the same age as the rest of it.

Well in that case, the original scales were no good, they are history bin job, so as you say it is no longer restoration, so i'm going with clear acrylic scales, iv'e seen a few sheets on the Ebay, so it's modern minimalism meets good old fashion Sheffield nothern grit, well after seeing it they will probably say, there's nowt stranger than folk!

For my 2p worth - Kropp were always workmanlike razors and i think they look good in ebony or bone. But that's just me!

I was thinking of Rosewood you filthy boy, I also thought someone had bought or sold a Revisor with some lovely Rosewood scales recently...

I was the one who bought this one, Tony. Got it off Nigel. Nice razor with lovely scales indeed.
