Thank you!
The original scales were broken so new ones were required. A actually wanted the originals to match my 4/8 and 9/15 but am pretty excited about these. I hope to actually have it in hand within the next week or ten days. A true beauty. Thanks,Steve, those scales though!!!

Nothing like shaving with a family heirloom!These are two of nine razors that were my great granddads. They have been stored in a steamer trunk since his death in an auto accident in June 1936. i will post some better pictures when I have an opportunity. One of the others is a Wade and Badger
I have this customized 6/8 (in rams horn) on the way from Thiers-Issard. Just waiting for it to arrive from France.
Don't think I have to say who it's from, you'll all recognise the workmanship I'm sure.7/8 on it's way to me, can't wait. This man is an artist.
I^^^ The bone is a lot heavier than the plastic scales, so there’s more mass and IME this does make a difference.
its going to clean up nice! and the shave is top notch! the brown "contrast" relief "gunk" on the scales i believe that came new. polish it out to all ivory color, it looks better that way.Just won a bid on a 6/8 Marer and Grosh made in Toledo Ohio .
