Thread: Need some adive on ivory scales

I don’t really worry too much about scratches on the ivory scales of my very old razor. I do give them a good rubbing with an on piece of suede and mothers them a mineral oil bath. I always soak them before I unpin or pin them, believing that it helps make them more flexible, or less brittle. An old dude that did a lot of stuff with old ivory that used to be around gave that as instructions, so I just believed him and did as Bill said.
