    Jerry,

    1) Blond Rams Horn - I have a few razors (scaled by Mr Neil Miller) in this material, and it is beautiful
    2) Black horn - I like this for my old British razors.
    3) Ebony - a good, reliable scale material.

    All my razors that have been re-scaled by Mr Miller have lead wedges - a classic and good looking material

    Have fun !

    Best regards

    Russ
