Post your pictures - Ivory scaled razors

While this doesn't add up to some of the stuff, the grain in these scales is fantastic and you don't see many Brookes and Crookes in this condition though there is a 7 day set floating around out there in a sterling box for around $2k Canadian that I want BADLY but fear my wife would leave with my unborn son and two other sons.

I feel Very Inadequate Posting this after what I have just seen. My Ivory Clad C.V. Heljestrand MK*31 "Queen Of The Den"
One more for the list.
Nothing inadequate about that beauty, whether you own one or twenty!
Thank you very much Frank, she is definitely a Wonder of Swedish Amazingness for sure.
After having perused through this thread there are so many amazing razors it isn't even funny. Y'all have some very epic razors here for sure
Frame seems to be ivory too,original case,a few extra blades.Great old time craftsmanship.
WOW! Have you ever posted that before! I would love to see more pictures!
After reading comments posted, I see this is a rare bird,and wonder if anyone has seen any of these?
That really is spectacular! I am betting it is an extreme rarity! Thank you for posting!
I have posted these razors before in other places, but I had never gotten all of my ivory together in one place before.
Good looking group, congrats on a nice collection of ivory!
Thank you! I love this thread. Some real beauties out there.
Jonathan Hunt 1829-1837 Interchangeable Sheffield set. Tiny scales, but they are ivory...
Superb razors gents ! I am impressed
A couple of rough ivories: Russel & Jackson Sheffield with a lead wedge, Finnigans 18 New Bond (best grain of the lot) and a Simmons HDWC Co. Mfrs & Distributers USA No. 421 Barber's Pet. Purchased these with the idea of doing a restoration myself sometime in the future.
Im also playing around with light, trying to photograph the grain of the ivory better. These were shot in a lightbox with the top off, no artificial light, just natural light. I did use a few filters to try and bring out the grain better. In the past Ive only shot in an enclosed Lightbox with two side lights. I think more light might be the solution, maybe adding a top light for the lightbox..worth a shot sometime soon.

Getting good pics of ivory is all in just the right angle and getting multiple razors to show their full beauty at once is a trick in itself. Just the lighting is only half as you know. Those lines only fully show at certain angles. Love them all.
