I've got a few razors with horn scales that have some damage and am looking for advice on two approaches before I try them. For worm holes, someone on another forum recommended Hornoxy (a blend of epoxy and dust from sanding a similar colored horn.) The approaches I'm thinking of trying for strips where the horn has a raised layer (like in the first picture) is either to rub epoxy into the cavity and later sanding it or to use a hardening oil on the scales like boiled linseed oil. I'm thinking that a good sanding and hardening oil might also work on situations (like in the second picture) where the surfaces has some water damage / rot.
If you have experience with any other approaches I'd appreciate hearing them.
