Hmmm Thank you Dean!!!
But I have never done this before so it going to be a new learning curve for me, more so it those scales look good as I will remove the inlays to put on the new scales.
And that will render the old scales as toast but I'm not sure if I will go that far lol...
Thank you and yes I agree but I will do both and see how it goes, but I am leaning towards no 2 for sure...
Showed these old Sheffields some love. I expect I will likely cut down my rotation to these two.

I have that FR and it's my favorite shaver. Thus far I prefer my FR to my W&B razors.
Yeah I am 100% convinced it is the same blank as a W&B Celebrated. These are my favorite two razors far and away.Those 2 look beautiful Sir!!!
Frederick Reynolds was my very first straight razor, to me they are the same as Wade & Butcher I'm sure they used the same blanks......

Ian, mate...... That turned out Aces! Sorry for the late reply, as I'd been out for quite some time... I hope you love yours as much as I do!

Now those are the ones you should definitely snap up! The S.R. Droescher razors were likely made by Grahm and Plumacher but I have yet to find conclusively that they are. As far as I am concerned the build and over all finish on the S.R. Droescher razors are superior razors for their time(1916-1924). I am still on the look out for a fine Droescher 14K Gold and a Swift, but they have eluded me for years...... I'd love to have a Droescher Escher/Thuringian stone, but they are way high and I already have an Escher.

Oh man, Well done!!!! That thing is perfect!I bought this Friedr Herder 257 blade which was said to be NOS. Looks that way to me, but needed scales. Kirinite Desert Camo.
Hard to capture the depth of the colors

Excellent work! The Reynolds is a shocker!
Beautiful blade Ian! #2 would be my choice for that squared duck.
I do Matt!!! I'm very happy with it for sure... And thank you for the kind comments.....
Update to the Dubl Duck Wonderedge scales, they both came but No 2 it is as they are far better looking than No 1.
Both have been cut and shaped to size now on to the rounding, this is just to give you an idea how they are doing these have only been rough sanded at 340 grit.
I cannot wait till these are polished up......

Looking good!
Thank you Bob!!!
update they just need the last sanding before the last polish, but here they are up to now....
