Thread: An Ivory Hart

Thanks everyone.
Personally I was never a fan of the look either. I know some like the industrial look and being able to adjust the tension.
Being old school I have no problem tapping a pin if and when needed. It has worked for a century +. And to my eye they appear "clunky" . Though I used the orig.scales as the pattern they appear a bit more elegant.
It could just be me.

But as pixelfixed said, Ivory isn't as delicate as many seem to think. It's tough stuff even when so thin.

I have a Hart. Put me down in the camp that really likes its utilitarian or industrial look. Or as I think of it, a functional well made tool. And they shave wonderfully...

Okay, all that said? You just elevated this razor to the level of fine art. I mean it is absolutely beautiful. Nice work!

Best,

Ed

PS I also find a Miller TIG welder attractive too :-). Different strokes for different folks...

I too like the somewhat spartan look of the Hart razors but you have improved on it greatly, giving it a classic elegance that the original maker probably never envisioned or could execute.
