So I restored my old razor. I used the bakelite scales as a template for a piece of 1/4" paduak. Painstakingly sawed it in half and shaped it with sandpaper and lits of patience. Pinning was the hardest part. I ended up bending like 3 pins before I finally got it close enough for my liking.

Looks gorgeous, well done. I have a hunk of ebony I picked up on a trip to Kenya, I want to use it to replace the broken celluloid on one of my razors and have no idea where to start. Probably at the woodworking shop to buy more tools.
