How much work did you have to do yourself??
I mean did you cut away some of the original scales to make them fit the razor blade better??
- And it looks GREAT by the way!!!

the celluloid was just a block of material so i did all the work from there cutting shaping polishing fitting & pinning it was just a rectanular block starting out i took off the old scales and made new ones thanks tom
Looks Great!
Not bad at all!
I got a set of acrylic red scales form Superior Shave for my vintage Dixon, would very much have preferred to try to make my own but in a small apartment its not easy to fit in any power tools... what tools did you use to cut out the shape form the original block?
