Umm, a straight razor? Handle will be bone or horn most likely. If you can see hollows or pores in the material, it is bone.

Post up some pictures, that will help a lot, I own one razor with Ivory scales, so Ic an at least try and compare it if you can get some good pictures
here is the one that I have, the picture isn't great as I haven't got around to getting pictures with my good camera, but it might give you something of an idea

It is not have a good picture to show the grain, but it will not have the pores that bone does. Also, in the above razor and most older razors with ivory scales, the scales are very thin when compared to plastic or horn scales. Also, can you tell what type of wedge is in the razor? That can be a very good indicator of material. For example, the razor above had a lead wedge
