Favorite illegal scale material?

[Seraphim]

I have a set of tortoise shlee scales I'm currently restoring. And I've held, but do not own real ivory scales.

What illicit black market scale materials do you guys prefer?

I don't have any real tortoise shell scaled razors but I do have a genuine ivory scaled razor and a genuine invory shaving brush in the mail. So for me at the moment, it's ivory.

I saw that razor on classic shaving and immediately wanted it, the mammoth etched on the satin finish blade is beautiful. After seeing it I jokingly told my brother that I want a straight with scales made from baby koala femurs just for the mental picture.

While cool, wooly mamoth apparently is not illegal for trade, is it?

I can neither confirm nor deny ownership.

Also, I may or may not have inhaled.

I would buy a vintage in one of these scales, but as for using one of these materials these days, a no no for me

I'm drawn to tortoise. I love it. I have one I found at an antique store, but I'm sure it is fake. I'd love to own the real thing.

Illegal scales? Well, me and my homies got this idea from watching Cheech and Chong in "Up In Smoke"... we like SUPER compressed some bitchin sinsemilla into sheets of stuff that we can use for makin' all sorts of cool stuff, and that, like, you know, it like keeps a little stash handy all the time, dig what I'm sayin' vato? Anyway, I had to rescale this razor, and I thought... Du-u-u-u-ude....

I like mine made from the bones of people I eat.

Don't own any exotic material scales but do like the look of tortoise scales. I do have an antique tortoise guitar plectrum which is my total favourite. The Thiers Issard Rams Horn scales look very tasty.

Turtles looks best, but I've bought three sets and all were warped beyond usability. So my vote goes with the old elephant tooth.

 

[Seraphim]

I do have an ivory tang...

Plutonium-239 FTW

I only own a few ivory scales, and not turtle yet. So right now, Ivory

 

[professorchaos]

I only have one set of tortoise scales, they are lovely. And more than one or two ivory scaled razors. If I had to choose, it would be ivory. How it ages is incredibly appealing.
