8 days to go and already too rich for me!
The easy road is rarely rewarding.

Aoutch !
Well... Honestly what's so special about this straight ? It's not even NOS, big or whatever...
I would give for it about 20$ if I'd saw one like this on an antiques store...
More than 400$ ?! This is madness....

Never have seen those scales. The purely scales buyers are hungry for this no doubt, Thaeris, it has nothing to do with the blade on this one, trust me.

Crikey. Some other people out there place a massively higher value on that razor than I would. Is it supposed to be a crocodile or alligator on the scales? Looks like a very cylindrical lizard and the kangaroo on the blade looks like a child's drawing of a tyrannosaurus rex or a bipedal rat.

I agree -- it's a hefty price; but lovers of figural scales are no less crazy than the rest of us.
What I find alarming is that the seller advertises shipping of this high[er]-priced item for $2.01, via USPS First-Class Mail; I imagine that his offer for worldwide shipping will be at equally low rates, with no provision for speedier delivery, tracking, or insurance.You can have everything, and still not have enough.
I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

More than likely it is a well known lizard of some sort. lol

This is another one that falls into the more money than sense category.
