Cheers,

After some experience with my herd of razors, I finally selected some of them as keepers (two MK31, a MK32, a MK1 and a Klas Tornblom). I love them all and use them for distinct purposes (the Tornblom and MK1 are really amazing to contours and to shave under the nose and corners of my mouth, the 31s and 32 for the face and neck region).
All of them have good but old, worn or ugly ordinary scales. Nothing fancy as turtleshell or ivory, just assorted colors of celluloid or another kind of sinthetic material.
I am planning to replace all scales to make them all similar in appearance and to attend my fancy demands, and i really love the aspect, contour and lightness of the scales of the MK1, which is sort of 2mm thick sinthetic material (celluloid by the smell) with subtle stripes of creamish color (faux ivory). I see lots of materials resembling ivory, some of them striped, some not, almost white, cream or yellowish-colored, but this is the aspect I am looking for (see photo).

Who sells this kind of material, either in 2mm sheets or pre-shaped scales?
Can I, by myself, work celluloid with common tools? (I do not know anyone who works with razors in Brazil).
Is this material a good choice, or there are more modern, hydrophobic, stable and/or tough materials, similar in color and texture to replace it?
Can I apply a monogram to them?

Thanks in advance!!!
