Thread: First razor guidance

I've gone with the 5/8 mainly because I prefer the scales available for it - I went with violetwood.
For anyone interested, for the 5/8 razor, the possible scales are:
plastic (black or blonde) - £51.20
bocote - £63.20
redwood - £63.20
violetwood - £63.20
olive - £73.20
ebony - £67.70

I'm told the 6/8 can have the scales on this page: Razor Scales & Pin kits

Hope this is of interest to someone.
I'll post pics once it arrives.

This is what arrived in the post this morning... I'm in love with the violetwood scales

Sorry, phone camera pics:



What do you guys think?
