    Looks like it's going to have to be taken down to a moustache razor but the scales alone hold most of the value.

    I've looked through completed auctions and just scales with broken blades don't have that much value. This one has a small chip from what I can see, I don't think that makes it a mustache razor. After cleaning and honing my guess is it will be a 9/16. I'm not going to win it so it's all speculation. I really want a reaper, but I don't want to pay what I can spend on a custom razor for one.

    I don't know what Rose Colored Glasses you guys look at Ebay through, but that poor thing has at LEAST 3 chips, one of them at least an 1/8 deep, and very possibly a crack. use your zoom functions and look closer. If your on a cell phone, STOP looking at Ebay!

    I am using my cell phone, but I have never had intentions of buying this razor. I do use my computer when I know I want to win. Speculation is speculation. There is no ruler in any of the pics to validate any of our opinions. One of my luckiest buys on ebay was a wade and butcher. 4 blurry and dark pictures, no description. It looked like a normal 5/8 razor. It was a 9/8 FBU. Maybe the winner will be a member and can verify all of our opinions.

    If you actually print out the pic, you can see it's ugly but IMO it is salvageable.

    Just too much $ for me.

    Sold for $362.57...
