Really happy with this. Going to source some classy black scales from a wrecked blade for my classy french razor. So nice to finally find an old straight that was used by someone who knew what he was doing back in the day and didn't wreck it. And no pitting, and no rust. Before/after on the blade.

Scales are a lost cause. One was mended at some point in its life and the other looks like the material lost any and all moisture content and subsequently shrunk as it warped.
