Straight razor with Pin-up girl on scale?

[Okota]

I have a friend that is currently enrolled in barber college. He told me he had a friend that had a blade with a picture of a pin-up girl on the scales. He's been scouring the earth trying to find a similar razor and asked me to help him. So I'm turning to you fine gentlemen and asking if you know where he could find such a razor. Thanks for you help!

I have no idea but do you have a picture? Who made it?

Every now and then a vintage one with a nude turns up on ebay.

You might find newly made razors with all sorts of decals on their scales but those razors are usually Pakistani junk razors that will never take an edge.

I suppose... if you like that RW custom, hand carved scrimshaw type of thing...

How about this one? The maker is Albach. Can't see it in the photo, but the etching on the blade reads "Our Beauty".

The scales are quite possibly the ugliest I've ever seen...

Blades made by the Novelty Cutlery Co. often have scales with sepia coloured photos with pin-up girls in various states of undress. I think that there are a couple on the bay now. Irrespective of the scales, Novelty made a fine blade anyways so the're always worth picking up.

Excellent! Thanks for all the info, everyone. I'm going to forward it to him and hopefully he'll find what he's looking for.
