Thread: "Next to Mint" with BuckElitescales

I saw this last night on ebay. Blade looks great but I am not sure about the scales.

11 16 Etched George Wostenhom Pipe Straight Razor Shave Ready Wooooo | eBay

"I drank a lot of tequila before placing this ad. WOOOOOO!"

That blade indeed looks very pretty and you could replace the scales. For me, though, it is far too expensive! And I wonder how something can be shave-ready when it's a virgin razor: someone has to test it to claim its shave-readiness (at least in my book).

That hurt my brain. The seller is illiterate.

Those are horn scales with a few bug bites, blade looks nice. Asking price is awful steep, if you ask me.

Tequila? I was thinking something less legal and in the form of a rock.

The price is way out of my league also. I know appraisals are verboten on this forum, but the razor is way overpriced, right?

Look at his other auctions for a real hoot

Horn? I am pretty sure the description says BuckELITE scales.

I just looked at the seller's other items. Wow. It is a shame. Some of his items look nice but the descriptions and price are probably scaring potential buyers off.
