Great job on the restore
It means "Ivory like" ie: Faux Ivory, French Ivory my understanding is it was more a Jewelery term than a Razor term...
A composition resembling ivory in appearance and used as a substitute for it.
A plastic produced to simulate ivory. It was first produced by the Xylonite Company in 1866. Other names include Celluloid, Ivoride, Ivorine, Ivorite and Pyralin...
ps: I am just happy to finally get to help you out Alex after all the times you have helped me with my questions about tang stamps

According to "The History of Celluloid", it is an imitation ivory version of Xylonite, a pyroxylin plastic substance. This was made using the same formulation (but with purer forms of raw materials) as an earlier invention named Parkesine, which was a mix of cellulose nitrate along with various oils and solvents as a moldable plastic substance
