Latest razor restore

[Gasman]

I thought id post up a few pictures. Here are a few i cleaned up or put together to add to my collection. Nothing big in name but great shavers all...

BTW, the last 2 are dressed in vintage bone scales i cleaned up and reused.

What did you do to restore the bone scales? I soaked a pair in H202 and they came out too white. Yours still have the nice bone color.

That too is what I did, but I used the off the shelf stuff. Not the powerful stuff. Then a soak in oil/neetsfoot. I think the oil added a little color too. I kept checking them during the soak in the peroxide and pulled them out before they got real white.

i'll have to try a soak in oil and see what it does for the color, thanks Jerry.

Here is one I put together tonight. The tip of the front scale at the wedge end was broken off about 1/4" and a chip on one edge. Filled, dyed and polished up with the instructions from Mike/Outback. The blade was a gift from Mike and the scales I dug out of my old scale drawer. I thought I might be able to salvage the scales some day. And someday finally came. Now I have a good idea on how to repair old bug eaten horn scales.

BTW, Don't leave me alone in this thread. I know you all restore razors too. Show them off. I'm a newbie compared to a lot of you. I don't "MAKE" razors, so this is the only way I can jump in on the fun here.
