You can't beat the beauty of Wood...... or MOP......or Abalone.......or Stag.......or Mammoth.....or

I like wood too. There's lots of room for artistry in there.

Wood is good.

Ed (really, what other answer wood [sic] you expect from me?)

Wood works for me

Wood with brass or bone inlay.

Olivewood and Aombonia Burl are my favorites.

I definitely prefer the organic scales, and wood tops the list.

Definately exotic woods.

Or, if it's secondhand, ivory with some kind of inlay. Absolutely no NEW ivory please!

1. Vintage ivory
2. Some woods - e.g. pink ivory, olive (but not snakewood)
3. Some horns and or bones
4. Metal can be nice - silver

Now, I think I would love some modern carbon fibre scales, maybe with silver, or even ivory, or MOP accents / inlays (but ivory and MOP might be too much, have to see it to decide)

I wonder why people would not use ivory for everyday shaves? The only reason I wouldn't is because I may like to shave with some other razors...

The reason I don't like new ivory is the way elephants are slaughtered, just for their tusks. Therefor I have no problem with old ivory,we can't change the fat that the animal already died. But I would never buy, ore create a market for new ivory, just because we like to have nice scales on our razor. Off-white plastic would do for me then.

And pls don't start a discussion about exotic woods...
