When purchasing ebay razors, or any razor for that matter, ya gotta decide what ya want that particular razor for...
The one you are displaying, seems like an okay razor to me, but i wouldnt bid on it for my personal collection.
If you are getting it for a fixer upper, to re-sale or practice on, then the amount ya pay for it, makes all the difference...personally i wouldnt get it, if it bid for more than 15 dollars...just my opinion.

Good luck,

Mac

It appears to have a crack at the end of the blade.

I can't see a crack. That's a typical workhorse shaver. It's just a perfectly good, but nothing fancy, serviceable razor of the type that I don't even bother to clean up. I'd just disinfect it, hone it, and put it to work.

thanks guys I do see something at the top by the spine on the toe but I couldn't tell if it was a stain or something worst I don't really know what caught my eye about it. But we'll see what its like if I win it

+1 What he said. It's best not to showcase a good deal on a decent razor to razor-crazy people.The biggest share of respectable members would do like GreatWhite and leave it alone or take a snipe off if they thought a brother wanted it,but remember,there are lots of un-signed-in lurkers who could get in and ruin it for you.

There ya go. We have great folks here but we are razor crazy so nope don't share good deals. It's not safe:-)
Like Ron said it's one to sharpen and use but not spend a ton of time and money on refurbishing. If you win I want to know if it has a tiny bit of daylight showing on the toe. Now I'm curious.

got outbid went over the max I wanted to pay but oh well there will be others
