I see you received a lot of good info on distinguishing ivory scales. I only have one razor with true ivory scales and it feels totally different than celluloid. It warms up in the hand and has a very luxurious feel. My wife said it warms up just like gold jewelry does compared to steel or base metal.

My 6/8 Torrey with ivory scales had been listed on eBay and I was winning the auction when eBay suddenly cancelled the auction because it was an ivory item. Fortunately, the seller and I got together and arranged a private sale. It is one of my favorite razors. The laws regarding ivory are pretty specific and I checked to make sure it was a legal purchase.
