    Thanks because I have always heard thin and ivory together. Glad to be enlightened :<0)

    thickness doesn't mean anything, I have razors with original ivory scales that are as thick as any regular plastic scales. thick ivory scales are rare because ivory is strong enough for very thin scales that are not possible in other materials, and it is also expensive.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
