This "Rangoon" razor is one of my favorite shavers and I've been wanting to make some scales to match the exotic locale that its name implies.
While at a goodwill awhile ago I came across an old jewelry box that had an antique map on the lid. I brought it home and proceeded to butcher the poor thing with my scroll saw but I was left with one usable set of scales.
I coated the wood and map with an oil based sealer (Arm-R-Seal) and found a cool translucent gold acrylic that reminded me of pirate's gold.
