I figured I'd post a poll to see what people would do with this one...
Its my first ERN straight razor, however the scales are...well, kinda ugly-ish.
The first issue is that I am not actually sure the "inlay (more of a metallic stamp)" will hold up to the sanding needed to get the scales black again (unless someone has a magic solution?).
The second is the writing ERN surrounded by a star looks like some razor that was on sale and that was stamped badly (not even in line with the rest of the scales)
Then again, they are the original scales, and I usually always keep the originals when possible.
The two options are:
1 - Keep the scales and try to work around the inlays.
2 - Make new bone or horn scales.
