It was first polished, removing all active rust to reveal new metal and a mirror shine. Next, the scales were either restored or handcrafted depending on the razor’s needs. Custom scales are handcrafted specifically for this razor and expertly fashioned with new pins providing support, style, and control. If left original, the scales were cleaned thoroughly removing any risks of corrosion or scale rot, and buffed to bring out the material’s luster and brilliance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr class=\"kix-line-break\"\u003e\u003cbr class=\"kix-line-break\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo make the straight razor Shave Ready it then completes our True Honing Process, utilizing stones in a progression designed specifically for that razor’s material, grind, and needs.
