Where to Buy Custom Scales?

[onotoman]

Hi Guys,

I have quite a few nice vintage straight razors that I'd like to restore (as if I didn't have enough to do restoring and plating vintage safety razors

I'm in UK and wondered where I can buy Custom Scales for razor restoration projects - I'd prefer ready-to-fit rather than raw materials.

Happy to buy in US so long at the seller is OK in sending to UK

Any information, links etc greatly appreciated

Best Wishes

I don't mind tweaking to size, it's just the making the whole thing that I want to avoid - much like I don't mind restoring a blade but I wouldn't want to make on from scratch (at least not yet

You really need to send your blade to the scale maker so they can make sure they fit properly.

actually the hardest thing for me building scales was the beveled spacer

Thanks for the heads up but I've been restoring razors for quite a few years ( being an ex engineer it provides my fix) so I have the equipment and knowledge I just need some nice lessthan raw materials
