    Default Mother of Pearl and abalone look great together.

    This is a very nice mathematical razor that has been cleaned up and fitted with some nice custom scales.

    I think you should try one with ebony on both sides of the middle section of MOP. That would really look cool.

    I agree, Bill. This one, however, was specified by the guy I built it for so my creative license was a little limited. I've got a few more really nice slabs of MOP that are just crying out to be placed into a really nice African Blackwood or Ebony handle. I'm leaning toward the Blackwood right now. I love that stuff.

    Very nice job.

    Is the blade gold plated? Did you clean it up and re-plate?

    The handle work you and Bill are doing is simply gorgeous! Are you guys lining the inside of the scales with something? Lynn

    Thank you for the compliment, Lynn. This one had a nickel silver lining, so the razor is 100% nickel silver, abalone and MOP.
