    Default Ox Horn

    Made these scales today from Ox horn. They as super tough and feel like solid glass. They also have a slice of white inside, you can see in the photos.

    I will house this W&B within, it is a little unusual in grind and shape..(covered in wax)

    Cheers..

    That is going to be a rather nice looking razor.

    @tintin I got a nice batch of buffalo horn slabs from Maggard's about three years ago, black and also honey. Check there for that. The buffalo was not included.

    Nice looking horn and scales. Quite the polish that you have on them.
