I've seen several different razors with ivory scales and some are snow white and some cream colored and one that i just acquired is kind of pinkish. Does anyone have an idea of why the different shades of scales. I would have thought that they ivory would be so hard that dying them would be almost impossible. Now back in the day when i smoked and drank a lot of wine it was hard to get the stain out my original teeth but to my knowledge Elephants didn't smoke or drink and if they had a grass stain they would be greenish. anyone have any ideas.
