I did mine in natural horn. Pictures can not capture the beauty inside the somewhat translucent horn. Streaked is another nice option but I wouldn't go there unless I could hand pick it out or at least saw a picture. I am too picky for just taking what I am given :<0)
Sun on it.
Sun through it.
and still you can't see all the detail in it :<0)RoyalCake likes this.Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Polishing up nicely so far....start of my first restore, tape to avoid sanding of parts I don't want sanded till I get to that point so I don't screw stuff up. Next step will be removing the scales for further sanding. Blade edge is in perfect shape but the middle area was pitted. Got all this done with the little spare time I've had between customers needing haircuts today

Last stroke on the buffer and slam....and was careful as I possibly could be.....think the buffer snagged the barber notch and proceeded to try and swallow it....was applying no pressure....I'm soooo sick right now....like losing my favorite toy :-(

OH NO! I commented on the first couple posts and did not see that poor razor's destruction. My sympathies, friend!
