Thread: Scale Question

As with many questions on the forum, this is a repeat. I am wondering about members preferences for scale material. You can include something you have not used but possibly hope to use in the future, or just stick with what you know. This question has been asked before as noted, so it might be interesting to look back and see if preferences have changed over time.
I won't limit the number of choices but preferences from first to....
Here is mine:
1). Mammoth Ivory
2). Horn
3). Bone
4). Celluloid

Plain ivory... I am doing my own seven day set in ivory... Diffferent kinds of razors.. Just my favorite ones to use.

My set has been long done.I like the white stuff also

My scale preference varies from razor to razor, based on grind, manufacturer, age of the razor, etc.
I like bone or ivory on an old Sheffield wedges, but would really not care for bone or ivory on a modern Dovo.

I'm a newbie, but i would have to break tradition and say Carbon Fiber... I love the was it looks and feels

Ivory - on old sheffield razors and the like, and ebony.

I can feel a song coming on - must resist, must resist...

Regards,
Neil

I only own a couple of razors, one with ivory or bone, unsure which, one with plastic.
Generally I like whatever the razor has if it is original vintage.
If I could have my dream scales they would be silver, with MOP inlay, and in the MOP an ivy pattern carved in then filled with silver. Not humble I know Frankie, but don't fear, it'll never happen. The materials wouldn't be too costly, but the labour would be a killer.
I quite like the coloured celuloids, saw a razor with green celuloid scales, it was beaut, but I am a bit cautious of celuloid, incase it spontaneously combusts on me mid shave. :-)

I still prefer wood and g10, bit I have started to grow fond of diamondwood as well
