Thread: 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 know I feel so Lucky and i have 7 of them I just don't understand how anybody else missed them

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.

Good find my friend, you HAVE to show some pics once restored.

Very Nice,always glad to see pacyderm dental extractions put to good use

I must say I am quite jealous. Good job!

Happy Shaving!
