Ok had some time to finish the work with the bog oak scales.
My first idea was to refit the CV Heljestrand MK 30 on them, but that wasn't going to happen.
The MK 30 is a 4/8 and the scales is for a 5/8. So i had to rethink what was going on those scales.
The Johan Hengström just cried out to get some new scales, the old was some cardboard material that just wasn't right for that old razor. So the the work started to refit the Johan Engström and give some dignity back to the old chap.
This is the outcome.
The next thing is to hone the Engström up on a jnat mikawa progression and testshave, maybe buff the blade up a bit before. But it is as good as done.
