Guys, that's one of the most honest descriptions I've seen lately when it comes to razors. In my humble opinion, it does not belong to this thread.
As the time passes, so we learn.

IMO, there are two reasons SRs wind up on this thread: the seller is pulling a fast one with the description, or "it's a shame" the blade is in such a condition. YMMV.

The oldest straight on EBay--from 1st Century Rome & only $140 USD.
Seller states, "YOU COULD SEE HOW IT COULD WORK." I sure could in all the seller's blurry photos.

A razor, really? That would have been my last guess for what looks like an antique horse pin. Good thing he provided 10 blurry photos all from nearly the same angle.

The wostenholm pipe razor on the previous page has been fashioned into a crooked knive. A crooked knife was a wood carving tool used by Native Americans in the Northeast to carve canoe paddles, make snowshoes, etc. The knife is held in an underhand grip and drawn toward the user.

So it's not my eyes. Maybe it's a photographic effect to make it look more dreamy. Ooooh! Must buy. Originally Posted by Speedster

Here's one for the so called "Pickers". It amazes me that people watch those pickers shows & so they go on their own hunt. They do like the people in the show 7 try to talk the seller down as far as they can get, then ask outrageous money for the item. Here's an example:
VINTAGE ESCHER RAZOR WATER HONE STONE STRAIGHT RAZOR SHARPENER WETSTONE LABELED
I'm just making a guess but I bet the seller of this item paid around $5 for it if that much. I could be wrong though. The item description is funny. He's been searching for one of those for 20 years................
I paid a lot less than that for a Barbers Delight.
