Thanks mate!
I got it from an antique shop in reading. It was a bit pitted, a bit rusted, & a lot tarnished.
I routed a wheel the exact radius of the hollow, put in a spindle to fit it in a drill, covered it in sandpaper & carefully ground the pitting out.
Then i wet & dry papered it up to 1200 before polishing it up.
I left the scales on as i didn't want to take my first one too far in case i buggered it up!
It's nice & hefty, weighing 60g.

Just honed this one for a customer & fell in love with it.
Any one heard of William Wood as a razor maker ???
Not made in France but Liverpool. Fits the other criteria tho. If its not Ivory it's a good imitation.

I think it fits LSBFW's criterion nicely.
