Yeah, and why would you want people thinking your razors came with frowns?

This one just came up. Talk about an over hone!!!! Would love if the price was cheaper. I think this would be a great candidate for a wet wheel regrind!!!

Although 6 layers of tape might get you to the edge.....

It's a real shame

label on box, stone is...what is it? Somehow in the range of 100 years old give or take, and nobody suspects anything?

Jeez. The only oilstone I've seen that looks like that one is the not-a-washita but called a washita that Dan's whetstone sells (and they're perfectly honest if you ask them that it's not similar to a lilywhite).

I never pay extra for a label that's on a box.

Wonder where the original stone went.

I cant even imagine that the box is that old. It looks amazingly fresh for 100 year old wood. That is a serious buyer beware situation.

Yeah but the sticker looks to be oldish. I mean seriously aside from the sticker they put very little effort into the antiquing of this scam

Take a look at this treasure. I figure it was once a razor. But its "antique".

^^^^
That "antique" would be really awkward to hold while shaving. I'm guessing someone was intending to use it as a knife. Maybe a patch knife for muzzleloading?

Now this would be a real steal at $59.95.
