Ooooh...I need one of them jawline razors!! LOL :P
OK, here's a good one. Listed as "RARE FRIEDR.HERDER ABR.SOHN SOLINGEN GERMANY Straight Razor 172 Razor Blank", seller states that this item is **NEW OLD STOCK** Never Used. RARE Friedr Herder ABR Sohn Solingen Germany Straight Razor 172 Razor Blank | eBay
Actually, that is a blank and was never finished. If it is hardened already it will make a great razor when finished. A good buy. If not a good smith can harden it for about the same cost as buying it.
I've made a couple razors from them. They are WWII blanks from a bombed out factory and Smokey Mountain used to sell them.

Hmm, OK, but the spine still looks (as a friend of mine said) "Like someone built a doghouse and used this razor as the hammer". lol
The etching appears brand new, compared to the bllade?
It is firescale and the blank is only a previously press stamped blank.

PS. Do as you will and let the Shame continue!
It would appear that one is not quite a razor yet. Still has work to be done on it before it is even ready to be honed. It could be called "a razor shaped object made out of quality steel. Some finishing, middle-ing, and assembly required." With the right tools and skills, it would shave nice.
