    Scales are in remarkable condition.

    Just curious - did the razors come in a twin travel box or sheath? They seem small enough to have been made to fit in a travel kit of some sort.

    As usual, a wonderful restoration. The owner should be very pleased.

    They came in a small leather covered wooden box. The customer removed the rotten leather cover and refinished the wood. He sent me this picture.

    Very nice. I wonder if the leather cover was intended to be a strop.

    A great job there, I'm currently doing a twin/traveler set for myself I'm hoping to remove the ivory scales and reuse them, if I can get them off without breaking them

    Beautiful work. Couple of fine razors there. Small, but clean and tight!
