Ladies and gentlemen:
What more is there to say except that, indeed, is a lovely razor. Good show.

My word, what a stunner. Will be interested in those burn tests because from those pics I wouldn't like to say one way or the other. Absolute beauty either way though.

Beautiful crisp, clean etching on that blade-looks deeper than most etchings. I can't really tell if the scales are ivory from the photos (ivory is hard to photograph well, at least for me) but I am guessing they are celluloid too. I know that my Joseph Allens are great shavers, and yours looks like it will be too. Thanks for posting it, and I hope it is ivory. If not, you still have a nice old Sheffield with one of the better blade etchings I have seen.

i used hot needle and try to burn inside the scales . nothing happen. even no smell. but when i put outside the scale it did have surface burn. i have at least 10 more ivory scale blades . color is different a little. most of them white color this one is close to yellow more then white. it may be plastic.
