    I would like one of those boxes, but not enough to chase it at 89 bucks. I keep an eye open at antique stores, or I used to back when those existed.

    Has anyone come across these yet? I mean scales made out of antler can be classy and tasteful. Having a scale that is an antler however is a bit of a different story.

    This is a razor that is offered for sale on Dutch auction site Marktplaats. Seller claims it is from her greatgrandmother's barbershop and has been used exclusively as a razor.

    There is a recent thread wondering whether our grandfathers shaved with blunt razors...

    You know the old saying "make it and they will buy". I guess it applies to sales too.
