    Hi all,
    Probably the stupidest question of the day but here goes
    Is it possible to straighten warped or bent razor scales ?
    I think they are probably made from a cellulose or plastic material
    I was thinking about possibly using steam and a clamp
    Or is it just Bin Fodder not worth the E16A4B8D-CCC3-4279-9B96-F2832968A3B6.jpeg F40A810F-13ED-4A22-B54B-256C80641A2C.jpeg A78A7D7D-4195-442B-992C-50420C8D88D9.jpeg
    I have no idea how it happened as I have received them like this but they are the original scales and I do like where possible to keep everything as original as I possibly can and not coz I’m cheap well not totally ha ha
    It’s as far as I can tell a french razor
    Any ideas
    Gra

    If you try the hot water method and have hard water, place the scales in a Ziplock polybag to avoid waterspotting and getting water in the pivot area.
