I don't know how this one slipped by but I just snagged it up with the BIN option....
S.R. DROESCHER Straight Razor 18K METAL BIRD? CAP ENDS - eBay (item 350153967560 end time Jan-22-09 10:44:58 PST)
Unless I missed something huge, I should have this polished, honed, and in rotation within 24 hours of it getting here....
:gaah: I was asleep…….
I saw that listing title Glen, but I thought that someone was trying to imply they were selling an 18K gold razor, and I didn't even bother to open the listing. :gaah: (You know what I mean - ". . . Beautiful Ivory ?? handles. . . ")
Oh well, enjoy what I hope is a great find. I guess that's why we all keep trolling the waters of the Ebay! :p
I wasn't asleep. I have a NOS one.

Nice snatch, Glen.
Seems a few Droeschers have popped up on ebay recently. I snagged this one last week.
what's the word on those? are those like (gasp) ducks?
It's a great looking razor & an absolute steal at that price. Well done on not letting it by on your watch! The cheerful, lighthearted tone of this post doesn't make my envy too obvious does it?
yeah, i have nicer ones so i didn't play, but i can swear i had a snipe on the one ray got... never got email, so either was outbid or the snipe didn't go through... but i already have a couple of the blue diamonds :)
This is my first Droescher, and with rave posts by guys like Ivo and Heavyduty in the past, I am looking forward to honing it up this weekend.:)
Little too "German" for me :roflmao.
Hmmmm just read these were only made for 8 years and are actually much older than I thought 1916-1924 I would have guessed 30's or maybe even 50's
No special word and no there is no duck hysteria for them.. They are very good shavers and were always kind of a well kept secret. I got mine about 3 years ago and I don't think I paid a hundred bucks for it.Quote:
