Thanked: 24Does anyone have any experience with transporting ivory?
Hey,
Thanks to the classifieds from here, I recently acquired an antique (pre-WW2) straight razor with ivory scales.
However, I am going to be travelling overseas soon (SE Asia), and I was hoping to take it with me, partly because it's a great shaver, and partly because I don't want it to go out of sight for three weeks. I find it difficult to stop looking at (I'm sure you're all overly attached to your razors too), or if there's a burglary/ fire, I wouldn't want to lose it.
Due to the UK being the UK, there's a lot of restrictions on what you can or can't do/ bring/ say/ think.
When the seller sent it to me, it only travelled from within the EU, and he still had to pay quite a bit for the appropriate certificates.
So, is there any way that I would be able to carry my razor with me while I travel?
Any information would be appreciated, especially since I intend to leave the UK in a few years.
