Got a good deal on three Henx razors off ebay. I'd been wanting to add one the my Henckels kitchen knife collection just to be a completist. Two were in great shape and this third one had a nearly mint blade but cracked scales. Here's the before shot:

Work in progress on the bench. I have a length of nickle silver rod that turned out to be perfect for the pin replacements.

I lost one of the washers during the resto and after 15 minutes on my hands and knees searching for it I gave up. I snipped a bit of a thumbtack to make a replacement which you can see here on the left side.

And here's a glamour shot:

Pretty darned happy with the results!

Nice! I've been messing around with wood scales also. And some mono scales. But nothing as nice as that! (Even with the thumb tack 😉)
