    Here is an old Sheffield razor from William Greaves & Sons, Sheaf Works (1823-1850) that needed some general blade clean-up and new pins and scales.

    FINISHED: The carbon steel blade is an 11/16" wide wedge. The scales are 'faux ivory.' the end wedge is gold & rust acrylic. solid brass pins and single brass washers and inner brass bearing washers.
    Next up: to the hones…

    Wow. Something about a simple white set of scales. Is the faux ivory acrylic, or a different kind of material?

    'Faux Ivory' acrylic. Stable stuff, easy to shape; no warpage! :happy088:
