If I got the thing right the common believe is that wood was not used by vintage straight razor manufactures, the wood scales we find on our vintage are therefore replacement scales.
The reason would be that they did not know how to stabilize wood.
If that is the case that is a very strong argument for me.
Nevertheless I have some wood scales on vintage straights that interest me.
And I wonder if replacement scales sometimes was made by a vendor and maybe even used as guaranty service solution.
Wood scales:
The upper one is made from one piece of wood. The lower has amazing shape and the 2 sides look very symmetric.
The 2 above, I like them but they do not compare with the first one in shape.
This scales has shape as common plastic scales. And the shape is good and the sides are symmetric. The coating colours of, have to remove it if I want to use it.
My guess is none of this scales are very old.
