Not sure. If you look closely towards the edge, either the tape is loose or the edge is all chipped or rusted. For me this is a no sale.
cell-rot if you ask me.

Gimme three steps Mister
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps
Gimme three steps Mister
You'll never see me no more"

There will be something else along shortly...
Aw, come on fellas. You know for every huckster out there there's a pigeon waiting to be plucked. A man has to make a living you know. I remember reading an article a long, long time ago of an interview with an old man who admitted to being scammed and stripped of his money several times a year for years. In essence he said he knew what was going on and it was a combination of enjoying seeing the various tricks used to get his money and flattered by the attention.
But on the other hand someone should ask for photos of the blade untapped. That'll get it de-listed in a hurry if there are blade problems.
You'd be foolish to pay that price for that blade. That's for sure. :)
If you want $395 and aren't even showing the blade clearly, you're hiding something. It would be worth the gamble at $3.95 but no more. Less than adequate photos can be forgiven for $20 or under. After that, show me the goods.
The tang looks rusty under the words I think. Stay a mile away from that one (at least I would). I would only pay $10 for that one only for the scales and if it is rot $0
WTF with the tape on the blade? Surely nobody's dumb enough to BIN on this one!
Well, you do stand to save some money if you hone using tape. That's a plus!
Rust/Pitting
at $470 AUD delivered to Aus for half a blade of cell rott that is even coming throught the tape in places
I think the decimal point is out a couple of locations or these are not the same photos
"The razor is in unused condition although there might be some tarnishing and rusting from sitting in a box for more than 70 years. Handle is embedded in mother of pearl imitation cracked-ice celluloid scales. We do not see any scratches on the scales. Does not appear to have any damage at all on it. We rate better than great."
are they Blind? better than great " I know I have dropped my standards a couple of time on a big night on the cordials, but seriusly are they on Crack or something better? HAHAHAHAHAA
I just emailed the seller saying I can't see the condition of the blade because of the tape - please post pics of the blade itself without the tape. See what happens....:shrug:

Well, we can see the tape, the question is how many razor's were used prior to this initial taping???:(Quote:
