Thread: Crown & Sword dressed in red for Christmas

This "little" girl dropped of in my mailbox last week, and in the spirirt of X-mas, what would suit her better than a pretty new red dress?

She's a 7/8 ERN Crown & Sword, scales are made of red G10 with bone wedge and brass pins and washers.

Since I still don't have a buffer I hand sanded as usual, going from 320 - 600 - 800 - 1200 - 2000 wet/dry, and polished with Autosol/Dremel.

Got a new belt sander for my birthday, so I decided to try to replicate the original scales as good as possible.

First a pic of my new sander:


And as usual I forgot to take a before shot, but here's the pic from eBay:




And after:

Nice work. The blade and scales both look great.
Cool sander too, excellent for this kind of work, congrats.

Thats cool! Those are great shavers and you have rendered some sweet scales. Fit, Finish, and Photos are Nice!

I've had a few Crown & Sword razor and currently have one. They are great shavers. I recently restored on for my uncle, even made a set of scales special for it in black acrylic with clear acrylic wedge. (see pics)

Great work. That razor looks wonderful.
