I'm not going to speak for Alex, though that lad has graduated to a whole new plane of custom razors Straight Razors - Custom Blades - Alex Jacques - StraightRazors.com

I've got some of Alex's early restores with custom scales. They're still in my weekly rotation, and some of my favorites. Saving my pennies for one of his customs.

All that said, I doubt Alex has touched a piece of metal that wasn't shaped by him in a dogs age.

My guess would be bakelite or a celluloid.
