    Default Another Beauty!

    Here's another optimistic seller!

    He states that it's "a bit rusty" & mentions that the scales are "a bit pitted".

    Apart from that it looks to me to be in great shape!

    As a bonus, "there are no nicks or damage to the blade"!

    Yes, If that was US eBay I'd probably actually bid on that... mostly for the scales, but if there really is no pitting on the blade and that's just a lot of patina and shallow rust, I could get that razor looking shiny in a few hours.


    Still, I agree the seller is a bit optimistic about its condition. What you have to realize is that most of these guys probably would NEVER imagine any one SHAVING with these. They view them as collectible antiques, and for a carbon steel antique that may actually be relatively little rust.

    I saw an ebay razor last week that looked like it had barnacles on it. Really!

    If that one is in "good condition" I don't want to know what his razors in bad condition looks like.
