    Great things have been discovered while stoned.

    I picked up a used one a few months ago, but haven't had a chance to hone it up yet, so no real impressions on usage. Mine definitely has wood scales. However, from my research, it appears that there are alternate versions with one being the "paper stone", which I found is similar to micarta, but using paper and resin to create the non-porous composite, instead of canvas and resin.

    It looks like a knife makers attempt to fashion a straight razor.

    I recently bought a Dovo 6/8 La Forme Paperstone razor. It's name refers to the different woods used in the scales. Mine looks like rosewood or mahogany very classy. As to the blade, it's a 6/8 carbon steel, full hollow grind. It is almost identical in dimensions to the Dovo Bismarck. I got the Paperstone because of its likeness to the Bismarck, it's one of my staple razors, and the sale at the time was on the Paperstone, some $80 less than a Bismarck so I bought it for the price and blade, nothing to do really with the scales. The scales don't interfere in the honing/stropping or shaving abilities of the razor. Looks good, holds an edge and basically if you like Dovo 6/8 razors with thumb notches such as the Bismarck's then you'll like this razor.

    Thank you sir, exactly what I was after. Now...where is my credit card?
