I think you are trying to talk yourself out of buying it. For a 70 to 80 year old razor, it looks good.

hmmh sounds interesting.. Can you tell me more about it?..
I admire your restraint.
yes, being broke tends to help me not buy stuff ;).
more about what? the razor posting in the OP? it is a rare, german made razor using swedish steel; two qualities some of us really like.
I have two razors: spike point and rounded point. I prefer the rounded point. What is the issue?
the issue is that while you may want to spend your money on a round point, i do not. ergo, "if only it weren't round".
i prefer square. when i shave i keep my eye on the spine to tell me where the blade is. On a round blade, the "overhead" view of the spine extends beyond the most distal point of the edge, making it difficult for me to see the point i'm actually shaving up to (think near the ear - you'd have to have the round point touch your ear before the actual cutting edge reaches the base of the ear).
