Curious about how to approach this with basic tools not including a drill press.
Got flush cutters for the job, a razor lot with some nice scales on eBay for $30 thinking I may just reuse a few from there.
I also see on Amazon - today gold dollar razors are 46% off, cheap as heck with decent looking scales...
So. Is this idea of taking scales off other razors and replacing damaged scales on my antiques a good one to begin with? Should I focus on new scale altogether? Would the cheap new gold dollar present usable scales to tear off and use on a good straight?
Also, where do you guys get peening collars and pins? Maggard?
I've gotten to restoration of blades, but the scales are the last frontier for me, so advice if I'm on the right track would be great! Thanks!
