It looks very dark, almost black. Is this the normal colour of a buffalo horn? Nice job on the razor.

Christos ! yes this is the normal color of the water buffalo horn,sometimes a hint of white or grey streaks will show up ,almost like a grain in timber, not hard to turn ,a bit like fingernail material
this is just sanded and polished like a normal acrylic blank ,and a touch of Maguires polish . It can smell a little if you get it too hot,but not that bad , similar to Deer horn
