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.
My service is good, fast and cheap. Select any two and discount the third.

Stunning work all around! The Takigawa gives me the impression it's wearing a tuxedo.

Those are not razors, they are works of art!
