Thread: REAL tortoise shell or imitation?

FOrtunately for you, Justacat, I'm out of razor-buying money for the month....
Hope you win her! She's a beautiful razor and (no offense Chayes) with a bit of buffing to get the scuffs out, those scales will shine even more!


Bad news, Justacat.... I think I'm gonna go mortgage my family...

... you get the picture what will happen if you outbid me .

Well, the bank just called back and apparently you can't get a fourth mortgage on sisters. Jerks.

No offence taken at all & even easily explainable!

My number 1 rule after killing a few nice razors, DO NO HARM. I cleaned it up but I came to a point where my minimal skills in working with scales forced me to stop and enjoy it as it was. I know that I could have done more buffing & cleaning but I could also just as easily damage what I find to be a beautiful razor.

Exactly- and I understand totally! I wouldn't get near those scales for a thousand bucks myself, but if I were buying it I could think of some people who would... but yes, I think the minimalist approach is always good! I would turn them into tortoiseshell powder with a buffer in about .025 milliseconds. Take THAT Google!
