Straight Razor Scales
- Thread starter jaro1069
- Start date
I printed a wedge too but its not thick enough. I could probably print a second wedge and double them up for the right thickness.. I will have to wait until i can find a razor that needs scales and try it on it.. I personally dont have one that needs scales right now.. I just wanted to see if i could print one and it turn out okay... they are about 146mm long..

Sorry dear fellows, as an 8/8th addict (see the post: The Size of a Razor) I thought I posted a message of a razor blade that is on my bureau in order to get scaled. An elementary Koraat, 8/8th; 1/4 hollow, polished an etched (gun blued) by me, before my above shown message. Something went wrong. Another attempt.
unfortunately the only scales I have mounted are those I stand on to weigh myself each morning. As far as the bleeding part...I try to minimise :/
PS nice razors and scales All

Gentlemen, since ours is scaling straight razors, I've three potential candidates in my mind, all brandnew unused old stock:
1. Grah & Plühmacher Solingen-Weyer, Gotta 7/8, 1/1 hollow, Spanish head, carbon steel $ 107,00
2. Luckhaus & Günther Solingen 7/8, 1/1 hollow, Carbon steel, $ 102,50
3. Grah & Plühmacher Solingen-Weyer, Blue diamond 7/8, 1/1 hollow, Carbon steel $ 107.00
These guys are becoming extinct. 1. and 3. are very close. But they are the only ones I might lay hands on. What about it?

Okay gentlemen, we all know the straight brand Dovo. We know that this house does not produce "artisan". Profiles are stamped from sheet steel with machines. There's nothing wrong with that steel. And it is excellently hardened and tempered in an industrially automated way. And thereby belies that everything made by hand is better. They shave, properly stropped like hell. But then the adventure begins with the "middle of the road" models. The gilding elements of the blades already disappear when you look at them, let alone when you breathe on them. But the worst thing is the quality and production of the scales. You can't imagine a worse Elcheapo plastic. That is why I tear off the scales out of the box with this type of straight shavers. And go replace. Hereafter a few pictures of a 6/8th 1/1 hollow razor refitted with Cocobolo scales. Steel miniature bolts & nuts. Wedge white Ebony.
