    Default Razor Resuilt

    I count myself a very lucky man I have been on E bay looking trying to win a 7 day set of straight razors each time a set came up they always went in the last second of way above the price I wanted to Pay well I won a seven day set and I think I hit the Jackpot! so I put my bid in and WON it was a set of Kropp Razors with the day of the week on the top of the blade the only down side was they had a bit of rust on them so I sent them to the guy who does my cleaning sharpening &honing & what he does with old blades is nothing short of amazing. Anyway he got in contact with to say that the Handles Where PURE IVORY!!!!!! I went WHAT then wanted to know how much I paid for them when I said £50 ($78.50) then there was silence from his end then i think i heard words to the effect of YOU ************F************D followed by a lot more from both me & him WHAT A RESULT I still cant beleve it the case is not much good falling apart but i will get a nice new case for them when has finished I will show photo once he is done with them but here is a photo of how they looked when i got them ( wonder how much they would be worth once he has done with them

    I have one razor with ivory scales and I love it! They have a different feel than other materials, great find and good luck, from what I hear Kropp brand are wonderful shavers.

    I saw them but I noticed that they are all suffering from a metal malady that causes the metal to crumble when placed in water.... Only I have the super power to see this.... "No?". ... Okay.... Then if you won't fall for that then "Good catch!" Have fun. I love, Not like "love" ivory!

    Very small rivets without washers is a good indicator of ivory scales.

    Nice score.
