    Default Issues with natural materials

    In the last few weeks I have noticed 2 of my most coveted items have developed problems. I was keeping both in my bathroom, and keeping them clean and oiled.

    The first I noticed was my brush from pixelfixed. It has a rather large ivory base and it developed a nasty crack through the ivory.

    The second is my Robert Williams in buffalo horn. I noticed it today when I saw it wasn't centering properly. After folding it open it wouldn't fold back closed. It appears the scales shrunk about 1/8 inch.


    Anyone have any idea what could be causing these issues and a way to fix them?
