Razor reno.

[bald as]

On the weekend I rescaled a couple of razors. One from about the 1920 - 1950's and the other from about 1815 - 1825.

They are oiled and wax sealed scales.











These are not restorations, I gave the blades a dedicated cleaning but not a full rust pit removal, they are what I term a custom renovation.

I wasn't all that interested in the historicity of the scales on the blades originally as they were simple bananna style.

Thanks to @carlmaloschneider and @boldsworth for the original blades.

They were fantastic in the flesh. The blade on one of them in particular is stunning.

I really like the colour and shape of the scales on the Bengall. What wood is it?

 

[bald as]

I'm reliably informed it is called Blackwood. The joiner that provided the piece for me to cut the scales referred to it as such.

I love what you did with the Bengall!
