Comments: Laminated celluloid with a "cracked ice" top coat. These should be considered scarce. It is an excellent shaving razor with great steel.   
 
Condition of the Razor
My
1 to 10 scale
All razors found on these pages are judged by their weakest points
1 ~ 4 Broken or chipped or shortened blades, missing pieces, very deep pitting, damaged scales, active rust, needs moderate work on blade or scales to be functional.
5 ~ 6 May have the following: light to moderate evidence of past pitting to at least 30% of the blade, hairline cracks that do not affect function, not necessarily pretty but still functional as a shaving tool, can have shortened blade if scales have also been shortened, no active rust, moderate hone wear allowed. 
7 ~ 8 Less than 30% evidence of past oxidation to blade, no glaring damage to blade or scales, in good condition but with minor flaws, non-custom scales may not be original to blade, light to moderate hone wear possible, most of my razors are in this range.     
9 extremely good condition, no pitting, no cracks anywhere, good fit at the pivot, no damage of any kind, aesthetically pleasing to the eye
10 flawless
