Thread: Scales in Mother of Pearl

I started work on some of these razors a while ago but never got around to posting pictures of the way they turned out.


First up is the black mother of pearl with my Wacker Chevalier razor - they really go well together.



Next is the same process using white MOP on a Gilbert Brothers razor - probably my favourite shape in a razor.





A group shot with my Maestro Livi Damascus steel blade - the scales are his version of MOP. I have to pay tribute to Brad Maggert here, he will undoubtedly recognise the process I used as a direct copy from him.



Finally, a razor I completed this week. It's Japanese Takigawa - when I got it the tang covers were broken so I replaced them with black G10 and then used the same to line the off white scales. Pictures don't really do it justice. The brush is a Thater 2 band finest that turned up today.
