    Real beauties-very, very rare to see MOP carved and decorated in such detail. You are probably one of the few men in the world who has a razor like this. No way to ID the maker that I know of, except that they had to be custom made for a wealthy individual.

    Default Mother of Pearl Razor . . .

    Gentlemen:

    The artwork on the razor is exquisite. Yet I cannot help but wonder about the story behind such a razor.

    Regards,
    Obie

    My thoughts exactly, Obie. Those razors were definitely owned by someone of extreme wealth and probable fame. Those scales show amazing craftmanship by today's standards and to think that somebody created those decades ago just fills me with curiosity.

    Excellent images and I truly hope that the Bossrelic keeps those razors either for his collection of Civil War artifacts or for those once-per-year special-occasion shaves.

    Hi,

    Per the wise suggestion that some photographs of this razor be placed in the SRP database, here is a set of four images that are a bit more organized and sequential. Whoever wishes to navigate these photos to the proper area certainly has my permission to do so.

    I'm again just left speechless by how beautiful this razor is. Thanks again for posting these photos. It just glows. It may even levitate when you're not looking.
