Thank you. I am happy with it.
But now I have a problem, and because I have no sense of personal
responsibility, I blame you for starting this thread and making me wonder:
I know I have enough razors, but do I have enough ivory scale razors?
The first one was the Mk 31, which was listed as having steer bone scales
and I didn't know any better, so I was just happy to have some Swedish steel
from Eskilstuna. The second one was the Le Grelot 360 which was listed
plainly as having ivory scales, but I thought that meant the color.
It was only when I had the two of those together that it occurred to me
that I might have something special. Then I got the Rodgers and now
I just got another one. This one is not in as good shape as the others,
it has a small functionally insignificant chip. I still like it, but I've decided to take a
break from acquiring any more razors of any kind. The Le Grelot
and the Rodgers both seem to have steel wedges.
One thing that I learned from participating in this thread
is that the best way to photograph the grain pattern in ivory scales,
is to illuminate along the length of the scales.
