Blade is described as "IN NICE CONDITION", even to my untrained eye i can see it has more issues than Life magazine. Scales are nice though but not worth that price IMO.

Some people collect for the scales, and that is why some razors in bad shape sell for a lot of money.
Looks like it was honed on a sidewalk.
The scales are interesting but it is being sold by BA OK COLLECTIBLES. I'd guess the ideal buyer would be someone for whom the more beaten up an item is the more authentic it seems. I can see it on a shelf above a broken butter churn, next to a rusty old mechanical apple peeler. Seated nearby, the owner sips a coffee at a barn board dining table.
Well. It IS at 20 bucks and no bids. Obvious, yes. Ray Charles could see that! (love Ray!)
