Spike Razor

These scales were deemed unusable to the owner but I suggested they can be kept. Here are the results, after sanding clean and polishing of the blade and scales.

Thank you friend, special thanks to you for helping me get so addicted to straights.

 

[SavantStrike]

That is some nice resto work! Did you restore those celluloid scales with micromesh or just sandpaper and patience?

Loving the red paua :biggrinn:

Crown & Sword Genuine Black Horn Scales

The owner of this razor requested an older style of scales for this one. Almost straight back with near square ends. The horn has some nice character on the show side.

The after on the first razor is very nice. The strop looks like its practically new.

 

[Samouraï]

awesome work. i'm looking for some good cheap razors to work on as well. how much do you invest in each piece (roughly)?

 

[Obsessed]

It's beautiful stuff like this that got me dragged into this against my better judgment!

 

[Muirtach]

I really like the point on that Crown and Sword.

 

[The Knize]

Every piece is beautiful! Pretty, pretty work, Ambrose!

I love the way that shell strop came out.

 

[rdeakle]

Man! When I see straights like the red paua, it makes me realize all the more that Im going to end up with one.

Nice looking razors!

Nice work Ambrose! Just curious, why did that strop turn black after the restore?
