    Congrats on such a nice keepsake. Will be a great shaver.

    Those scales are definately bone, not ivory...but how can u say u dont like ivory! Razor looks great, I have a Rodgers very similar but sadly it is not an heirloom like yours...I did ask my grandfather if he had any, but he said he used to use DEs..

    Hola Jorge

    Estupendo resultado! Muy bien hecho! Well done. I am sure your Grandfather was amazed at your result. Did he want to test shave it too..?

    Good job. It looks like it should make a great shaver. I personally think the scales look like bone also. I have one kinda like it .
