I picked this one up on ebay with no other bidders. It's a sweet smaller razor at about 5/8, and the artistic working on the blade and scales really stand out. Just finishing honing it up.

Holy cow! Amazing razor, excellent find! Shaved with it yet??
Nice! Exceptional scales.:chapeau
The word envious comes to mind fairly rapidly.
Wow, that almost makes me want to check out ebay again.
Another beauty, not often the ivory survives without a crack near the pin.
Speechless.
Your a lucky b.... oy. [emoji4]
Love it very nice score!
What a great looking razor
Awesome score
What unbelievable old world craftsmanship that razor illustrates. The scales are phenomenal, but I just took a closer look at the grind on that blade. At first glance I thought it was a frameback. It is also a great example of the art of the old world
Very nice. I like those scales.
Wow that blade is very interesting. Love the scales. I want to get a razor with ivory scales down the road, but not sure how to spot them. Bone and Ivory can look the same to me. For the scales being that old they look mint. I'm always amazed that something approaching 200 years old in that conditions that is still usable. That's why I love this hobby.
Lotta good info & pix in this blast from the past ...... http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...one-ivory.htmlQuote:
