Greetings veteran shavers, gents and any ladies (I will not ask if you have a mustache, fear not! )
As a more or less complete beginner at this (knowledge-wise, I can kind of shave by this point thankfully) I was thinking a compendium of blade brand vs scales found on them would be extremely helpful for ID purposes.
Ex:
Best:
Wade and Butcher
Can have scales from tortoiseshell or even plastic (I was surprised when I found a good Sheffield blade with plastic attached-not sure if a rescale!).
Medium
Fanciest scale will be usually horn perhaps
Low/average
Solingen
Scales will never exceed plastic, perhaps
Thanks all, and have a jolly weekend and pleasant shaves!
