You can't write the rules on a controversial subject, not follow such rules yourself and then throw up your OP rules when people don't agree with your point of view.
OP, go ahead, enjoy your vintage razor, make new Ivory scales from questionable sourced Ivory, whatever. Just don't come on this Gentlemanly forum and further promote something that many people morally feel quite strongly about and take offense to.
I have never promoted it in this thread... Once again and this is the last time I'm going to say it! I DO NOT promote the ivory trade nor poaching nor the modern use of ivory... I DO not mind vintage ivory as the damage has already been done... I have bought PREBAN ivory (totally legal) ONCE and RETURNED IT because of the guilt I felt about using it...This is just an FYI for those people selling their razors here and on eBay... It is now illegal DONT DO IT!
I don't think there is anything wrong with saying one likes the look and feel of working with ivory... Just because something is questionable to own doesn't make it feel or look any different objectively... But buying it is controversial and should be avoided
Don't say I've not been gentlemanly about warning other people of its sale.... I believe my third post was "is it really worth it?"
Lastly I don't think it's un gentlemanly to talk about this topic as it can lead to potential fines to some of our members here... What IS un gentlemanly is baseless name calling and judgement of character ( not saying your doing this just as an example)
