C.F. Wolfertz & Co, Allentown, PA in CA finished figured walnut scales with horn wedge. The thumb notch was added after a botched attempt at jimps.

Hess Hair Milk Laboratories, 5/8" very hollow blade. I didn't feel comfortable removing enough material to eliminate the minor pitting. So a little light sanding with 1500 and 2000 grit then polish. Unfortunately the gold wash on the tang was too far gone to save any. The scales cleaned up nicely and once the frown was ground away, I took a nice edge.
I not sure I want to know what "Hair Milk" is.:blink:

Finally finished this imperial razor co 6/8 with camel etching. I cleaned up the blade about a year ago and took forever getting around to making scales. Blonde translucent horn, wedge the same. Not perfect as I rushed the sanding and left a couple little scratches and they're a little too thin at the pivot end, but, as long as they hold together,I'm quite happy with it. Shaves have been great too.
