2 Le Grelots in Horn

[dmcconnell]

I took my pair of 3/4 hollow Grelots and replaced their TI plastic scales with black and blonde horn (also made by TI). The black horn has nickel silver hardware and I went with brass pins and washers on the blonde. I just finished the job and I am so pleased with how they look I had to get out the camera and share...

If you happen to not wake up tomorrow, and if those razors happen to be missing, I had NO PART IN ANYTHING.

These look outstanding man, very nice! I have a Grelot in Bone waiting under the christmas tree for me. I'm counting down the days...

I prefer the one in blond horn but both are great!!

 

[Drybonz]

Man... those look fantastic.

 

[global_dev]

they do look nice... inspirational for those of us with warped and crappy scales on some razors.

can you tell me where you got the scales from? I do remember seeing them out there on the internet trail at some time but can't recall. I am considering the same for mine.

thanks

Nice looking razors Dallas. I have a 1/4 Le Grelot in that blond horn that I got from Martin at Raspur. The horn is really fantastic looking!!

I almost bought those horn replacement scales for a razor that I have (but then I choked when I saw the price -- $75, very impressive!!). Anyway, did they come with the pivot pins, or did you have to supply those yourself. Did you have to drill and install the wedge pin, or was that already in place? Thanks!

thanks for the info, its seems that i have so many shaving sites book marked that it takes me a while to locate things any more.

Hey Jeff - yeah my ability to blow money on razors shocks me as well . . . they came with the wedge drilled and pinned with the nickel nail + collar type pins that come on all TI razors. I removed these and replaced them with proper pin & washers which look much better IMHO. The pivot hole had to be drilled and pinned as well. The scales came with 2 nail+collar type pins which I could have used quite easily, so you don't have to use your own pins but I like how they look. The pins that come with them, look similar to these: http://www.classicshaving.com/catalog/item/523001/201166.htm.

+ 1. The engineer in me prefers to spend money on blades, not scales.

I think you meant to post these in the BS&T Forum.
