That's a beautiful razor and a lucky owner.
May I inquire when the W & B blades marked for Barbers Use with no other markings were produced? I have a 7/8 (no notch) with the identical markings and don't know how old it is. Thanks!

Very nice. That Recon Turquoise works really well with the scales.

That thing is awesome. Now I'm hankering to go to every antique store in a 150 mile radius of my house to look for razors.

Inspiring results Glen! Working with ivory would make me take pause for fear of ruining it. You obviously mastered working with it! Was the ivory fragile to the point that you had to do anything special (aside from making sure you went gently and hit accurately)?

Not Really Mike, Ivory is not all that fragile until it gets down into the super thin levels that they used in the old days.. Some of those scales were more in the .060 - .085 arena.. I aim for more in the .090-.110 arena, so I feel it is pretty darn strong in that range.. Ivory seems to be very shock resistant also, and of course the Feel and the Glow after polishing is something that only Real Ivory has..
Real care has to be taken while sanding it, much like Micarta you don't want to use low grit unless it is very necessary because you can get deep scratches that are very hard to get rid of, generally 220 is the lowest you want to start with, 320 is better, and a light touch is much better...AirColorado and celticcrusader like this.
